Call for George Osborne to be sacked as an MP for Tatton.
George Osborne has recently taken a full time position as Editor of the London Standard newspaper (despite having no journalistic background). Added to his already long list of appointments and the potential for a conflict of interest, he cannot possibly perform his role as an MP and public servant.
His long list of extra-parliamentary jobs include working for investment bank Blackrock with an annual salary of £640,000. His many speaking engagements that net him £800,000pa. He also a chairman of the Northern Powerhouse Partnership where he is supposed to champion economic growth in the north.
Now he wants to be the editor of the London Evening Standard and champion the city of London (his rich friends). This man only knows how to champion George Osborne and is unfit for public office.
