Expenses

[edit]

I am curious as to why George Osborne's mortgage expenses issue is not disclosed under expenses in this article.

Plenty sources out there for it.

Early Life

[edit]

I take it some dimwit from Conservative Central Office decided that a picture and caption of "Osborne's ancestor King Henry III" was part of his "Early Life"?

Remove it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.174.214.242 (talk) 06:16, 28 November 2014

There is a small typo in the article.

[edit]

The last sentence below the 2015-2016 header and more specific the last word of that sentence misses a 'b':

On the 13th July 2016, following Theresa May's appointment as Prime Minister, Osborne was sacked and replaced as Chancellor by Philip Hammond. He thus returned to the backenches.[98]

backenches -> backbenches. It is correct in the introduction.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.92.210.73 (talk) 15:32, 13 July 2016

Change the wording on of the opening paragraph from "is a British former politician" to "is a former British politician" to improve readability 94.175.92.46 (talk) 12:50, 7 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Austerity

[edit]

Why no mention of austerity, when this is the main policy this Chancellor is famous for? 2A02:C7E:6648:BB00:F9EE:BFED:9308:1D2A (talk) 18:14, 13 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
