George Osborne
Britain is walking tall again.
The budget of an economy taking another big step from austerity to prosperity.
This is the budget for Britain… the Comeback Country.
The sun is starting to shine – and we are fixing the roof.
A state neither smaller than we need, nor bigger than we can afford.
We stand for opportunity for all.
This country’s tolerance for those who will not pay their fair share of taxes has come to an end.
Ed Miliband
We’re not going to take lessons on fairness from the trust fund chancellor and the Bullingdon club prime minister.
This is a budget people won’t believe from a government that is not on their side.
For the first time since the 1920s, people are earning less at the end of a government than they were at the beginning.
You have built fewer homes than at any time for nearly 100 years.
It’s certainly not a truly national recovery when there are more zero hours contracts than the population of Glasgow, Leeds and Cardiff combined.
It’s a recovery for the few from a government of the few.
