George Osborne has already said the Tories would encourage hospitals to borrow against their assets and let them go bust if they fail to keep up repayments
Britain is singled out for concern over the size of our debt crisis, and the message could not be clearer: if we don't start dealing with those debts we will face a downgrade.
David Cameron and George Osborne are the Jedward of politics. Hilarious to watch. All spin and no substance. But you won’t be laughing if they win
Now we're finding out what happens when a Labour Government loses control of the public finances. You end up spending more on the interest on your debts than on public services like transport. It's very unusual for the IMF to single a country out in this way, but it just shows the massive scale of Brita...
The SNP's isolation would have been disastrous for Scotland like (shadow chancellor) George Osborne's immediate cuts would have been disastrous for the SNP.
These figures are very good news for the world economy, but Britain now stands out as the only major economy still in recession. Gordon Brown's claim that we were 'best placed' now lies in tatters. His recession plan has failed.
I don’t think it is that controversial and I have seen references in speeches from George Osborne around the subject which look awfully similar and familiar.
These figures are very good news for the world economy, but Britain now stands out as the only major economy still in recession. Gordon Brown's claim that we were 'best placed' now lies in tatters. His recession plan has failed.
is that we've been through three-party political conferences but when you look at what needs to happen in terms of building a low carbon economy, creating green jobs and helping to save the world from climate change, the fact is that George Osborne, Shadow Chancellor, didn't spend one word talking about...
I am today calling on the Treasury and the Financial Services Authority to combine forces and stop retail banks – in other words the banks that lend directly to businesses and families – paying out profits in significant cash bonuses. Full stop.
The plans that (Tory leader) David Cameron and (Shadow Chancellor) George Osborne outlined this week are the most wildly dangerous economic proposals that Britain has seen in the past 100 years ... They show absolutely no understanding of basic economics.
The Government’s economic policies are failing the people of Bradford. These figures show we are still in a recession and that blows apart the myth that Labour’s recovery plan is working.
George Osborne’s catchphrase at the Tory conference was 'We’re all in this together’. Perhaps he should make that 'except Conservative shadow chancellors and founder members of the Cameron club who flip their million-pound properties to dodge a £55,000 capital gains tax bill.’
This news has destroyed Labour's claim that Britain was better placed than other countries to weather the storms
The Tories have got a lot of questions to answer about defence policy and they need to be clear about who is really in charge of their plans for our armed forces – Liam Fox or George Osborne?
George has a high regard for Lord Turner’s ability but has absolutely not started handing out jobs to anyone. There is an election to win first.
David Cameron is patronising when he says that times are going to be difficult, they will be easy for him and for George Osborne because they are both multi-millionaires. Easy for them, tough for the rest.
The idea that David Cameron and any cabinet he leads -- the idea that the modern Conservative party -- would callously damage those public services is a shameful lie
A Cabinet minister was yesterday accused of bullying the BBC after he used Twitter to accuse it of bias in favour of the Tories. Culture Secretary Ben Bradshaw said coverage of George Osborne's party conference speech was 'fawning and feeble'
Getting Britain Working will be a top priority for the next Conservative Government. So we have a bold plan to abolish tax on the jobs created by new businesses in the first two years of a Conservative Government. This will create around 60,000 new jobs that would otherwise not be created.
David Cameron has to follow George Osborne in giving tough messages, and he has to paint a picture of what Britain under his premiership would look and feel like. But he has to do it in a more friendly, compassionate way than George.
Labour's secret spending plans, which Gordon Brown never wanted to make public, appear to reveal an income tax bombshell
We certainly do not believe that ‘Dutch auctions’ at party conferences is the proper way to determine these matters. We do things properly as a government in Scotland — George Osborne is only shadow Chancellor and is jumping the gun.
Income tax receipts are set to rise by a third. Are ministers asking us to believe that this is due only to recovery from recession and the 50p rate? Hard-working families are having to pay a heavy price for Labour’s economic incompetence and the tragedy is that so much of the money will be spent on the...

@gedrobinson Not sure how you could squeeze George Osborne into that definition. But yes, generally!
