Britain will succeed in securing significant reform of its relationship with the European Union, according to its finance minister George Osborne.

He's used a keynote speech at the Conservative Party Conference in Manchester to insist the EU must change, or face stagnation.

UK Prime Minister David Cameron has promised to win reform of the EU before holding a referendum on Britain's membership of it.
