The former chancellor is leaving his job as the Standard's editor-in-chief for a boutique bank with 13 staff.

George Osborne's new firm has just 13 staff - but a big presence in corporate takeover deals

Mr Osborne had been editor of the Evening Standard. Last year he became editor-in-chief of the London free-sheet when Emily Sheffield took over as the day-to-day editor. Shortly before leaving Parliament he took up an advisor role at fund manager BlackRock, a one-day-week job that reportedly paid £650,000 a year.

I wonder with all the money sloshing around in the family business they might return the furlough payments they took from the tax payer?

Obviously someone wants their investment bank to go bust

He looks like Mr. Nosy Bonk

George Osborne is giving up most of his current jobs; one pays him £65,000 per day. He is to join the bank, Robey Warshaw. His salary has not been revealed, but a top director was paid £37.8m over two years. The company made £17.9m profit last year but paid no tax. (The Times)

Once a banker, always the banker

Capitalism working as intended. 😎

God help us.

Twug Smat.

All based on merit, best candidate for the job, etc ... 😬

Why will banks allow a Chancellor of the exchequer to be employed? Being Chancellor should send alarm bells ringing that this is a bad idea.

Of course he did- self self self

With the losses at the standard during Gideon's tenure was that a wise move by that bank?

Sinking ships and all that... 😎

Slimey pleb

Genuine question for conservative voters, do you ever feel ashamed of the choices you make? You are either terrible judges of character or you look up to these people and aspire to be like these greedy lying cheats!

Am I supposed to care? How does this impact my life?
