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

China is absolutely one of the biggest players in the world and if Britain wants to be connected to the world it has to be connected to China.

I get a lot of letters from people.

Just as we should never balance the budget on the backs of the poor, so it is an economic delusion to think you can balance it only on the wallets of the rich.

The British people think that if someone is disabled, then they should get all the care and support that we can offer.

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

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.
