Grumpyman Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 I see Mr. Osborne is now going to get a nice little earner with a bank in the city. Talk about the old pals act. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurtainRaiser Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Be fair, he has given up as Editor of the Evening Standard (£400,000 PA despite no previous experience) and consultant at Blackrock Investment Bank (£650,000 PA for one day a week), to take on this new role.

John52 Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 There used to be a decent interval between politicians leaving office, and cashing in on what they learned whilst there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John52 Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Its my belief that George Osborne's comment that Brexit would lead to a fall in house prices is what swung the Brexit vote. He was supposed to be on the remain side. I guess he thought the majority of the country was like his constituents in Tatton, and didn't want a fall in house prices. Or he didn't realise his comment would go beyond Tatton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this country you will never loose out long term in bricks and morter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Kirby Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Still, not bad for a guy with a 2:1 (Oxon) in modern history, wouldn't you say? Truly an expert in his field, and salaried accordingly! :-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
