GEORGE OSBORNE should choose whether to be an MP or Edit the Evening Standard.

Petition Details

George Osborne has just accepted a job as editor of the Evening Standard but he’s already got a full-time job as an MP, representing tens of thousands of people who live in his constituency, Tatton in Dorset.

Additional Information

Tatton is around 135 miles and 2.3/4 hours from the Evening Standard office in Kensington.

How can he possibly run a constituency while at the same time having a full-time job at a newspaper.

There is also the conflict of interest of Editing a newspaper whilst being a member of parliament, there will always be suspicions of bias of reporting and promoting the government's, and his own interests. This really is not appropriate.
