More quotes by George Osborne
[Banks] have a clear obligation to help get this country off its addiction to debt because they sure as hell helped to get this country addicted to debt.
George Osborne
Well British pension funds have not been investing the savings of British people in British infrastructure.
George Osborne
There is a big problem. The problem is the country borrowed too much. We went on a borrowing binge, there was a housing boom. You want to help people de-leverage and deal with those debts over time.
George Osborne
We should be looking at putting a limit on the interest that can be charged on things like store cards.You don't want to end up with totally draconian credit controls but you want some common sense. We want cooling-off periods for store cards so people can't take them out and go straight to the counter and buy things.
George Osborne
I want Britain to be the home of successful competitive and stable financial services.
George Osborne
The Foreign Office is a very important arm of the British state and I think Britain has a fantastic diplomatic service. We are the only country in the world spending 2% of our national income on defence and 0.7% of our national income on aid. We are the only country in the world doing both of those things.
George Osborne
I want Britain to be a global financial centre but I want it to be properly regulated.
George Osborne
The foundations of a strong economy don't rest alone on the decisions of Chancellors or the spending programmes of government.

We will also target tax evasion and off-shore tax havens... Everyone must pay their share.

George Osborne
You cannot tackle Britain's debts without tackling the unreformed welfare system.
George Osborne
I think it is absolutely central to our economic plan as a country not only that we put our own house in order but that we better connect ourselves with other parts of the world, particularly the faster growing parts of the world.
George Osborne
I believe that I'm entitled to regard my pre-political life as off-limits in terms of what can be looked at and judged.
George Osborne
You need to have a state pension that doesn't drag more and more people into means-testing each year and make it very difficult for people on low to medium term incomes to save and not see their savings clawed away.
George Osborne
I didn't come from a traditional Tory background it was urban and metropolitan.
George Osborne
I want to see genuine talent rewarded.
George Osborne
Well look, no one takes pleasure from people making money out of the misery of others, but that is a function of capitalist markets.
George Osborne
Britain wants the single currency to be a success. It is massively in our interests that we have a stable financial system on our doorstep.
George Osborne
We have supported the banks, they should be supporting the economy now.
George Osborne
