I want Britain to be a global financial centre but I want it to be properly regulated.

A generous basic state pension is the least a civilized society should offer those who have worked hard and saved through their whole lives.

We have supported the banks, they should be supporting the economy now.

The positive news is that the British economy is continuing to grow and is creating jobs. And it is positive news too that at a time of real international instability we are a safe haven in the storm.

We are pretty tough in saying for example if you've got unsecured debts and less than £25,000 that should not be an excuse for repossessing someone's home.That should not be allowed.You have got to help manage people through this process. I don't want to pretend that it is going to be easy getting out of Gordon Brown's hole.

If you want to change the way your banking system is regulated, if you want to learn the mistakes of what's gone wrong, then you have to change your government.

I want Britain to be the home of successful competitive and stable financial services.
