Change of career for George

In a surprise move George Osborne the former Chancellor has announced as the editor of London newspaper The Evening Standard. Osborne had before entering politics had pursed a career in journalism having job interviews with the likes of The Times (to name just one) before operating as a freelance journalist. After getting a job at the Conservative party headquarters Osborne devoted himself the cut and thrust of politics rising to the post of Chancellor before being sacked by Theresa May when she became Prime Minster and is said to have given him a lecture on humility. The appointment has of course raised some eyebrows, Jeremy Corbyn has called on Osborne to resign his Taton seat (which is actually due to be abolished at the next General Election) saying that he can not be both an MP and newspaper editor at the same time. Alistair Campbell has suggested that person who has most to fear from Osborne in his new job is Prime Minister May. A lot of people will be interested in what The Evening Standard has to say in the future.
