I see no real argument in Britain that is concerned that an Indian company owns our most successful car manufacturer or that the sewer system under London is being renewed in part by Chinese investment. There are the odd voices that express concern but they are very marginal and they are not being listened to by the British people.

I'm fed up with Britain being condemned to this future where we borrow the Chinese in order to buy from the Chinese the things that they make for us.

I believe in public services.

I think the British people have a strong sense of what is fair.

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

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

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