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

Every day as Chancellor I see alerts telling me of risks around the world.

I didn't come from a traditional Tory background; it was urban and metropolitan.

For example at the moment there is a compulsory requirement to buy an annuity. That is something we would get rid of. It puts some people off saving.

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.

I have done everything I can to move Britain out of the financial danger zone.

What makes people angry and we are on the side of hard-working people who want to get on in life and they see how government is wasting their money.
