Quote of the Day

There are those who are trying to create an anti-business culture in Britain – and we have to stop them. At stake are not pay packages for a few but jobs and prosperity for the many. Everything in politics encourages more red tape – everyone insists government must step in – ‘something must be done’ is always the cry. We have to resist these pressures.

George Osborne
