I'm not saying "job done" but I am actually pretty confident that Britain can be one of the biggest winners from these big global changes that are taking place and indeed become the richest of the major economies in the world in this coming generation.

I think you can look at the British economy with confidence.

You cannot tackle Britain's debts without tackling the unreformed welfare system.

Of all the public services, education is the one I'm most interested in. You get a more dynamic economy, you deal with most social problems, and it's morally right.

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

British taxpayers should not bear the costs of problems in the Eurozone.

I would also like to see children aged between 11 and 18 taught financial education in a structured way in schools. I would also say that that is not enough. You have also got to improve numeracy skills, mathematical skills in schools.
