George Osborne quotes about
economic gone government money people spending strong taxes vastly waste
Taxes have gone up, spending has gone up, waste of government money has vastly increased, and I think people will say he frittered away a very strong economic inheritance.

I think the British people are very, very attached to the idea that the health service is free at the point of use. But there is no reason why every doctor, nurse and teacher in this country has to be employed by the state.

The Conservative party, the modern Conservative party, is on the side of people who want to work hard and get on.

I reject absolutely the idea that people should know their place, and know their class.

It is not fair that people who are born in the UK to parents who are domiciled here, can later in life claim to be non-doms and live here, it is not fair that non-doms with residential property here in the UK can put it in an offshore company and avoid inheritance tax.

I would say I have taken substantive action to make things easier for people.

Well look, no one takes pleasure from people making money out of the misery of others, but that is a function of capitalist markets.
