The well respected broadsheet The Telegraph has published a sensational account that George Osborne is plotting a political comeback. Our Lead UNN Correspondent David Clews analyses this article in full below:
He was so angry about being ejected from the Treasury by Theresa May that he later claimed he would not rest until he saw the Prime Minister “chopped up in bags with my freezer.”
Osborne famously had the hubris that he felt he could stay on as Chancellor despite spending the entire referendum campaign telling people that the UK would require an emergency budget as well as all other sorts of economic scare stories with his willing Globalist stooge Mark Carney in the Bank of England. All of these predictions of course didn’t come true and the UK economy continues to thrive ‘despite Brexit’.
Now with Mrs May’s premiership in tatters and having aligned himself with the most likely candidate to succeed her, could George Osborne be warming to the idea of a return to frontline politics?
Speculation is swirling around Westminster that the Evening Standard editor is “toying” with the idea of running as an MP again following his fall from grace in 2016 after six years as Chancellor.
The marginal seat of Kensington in West London is being touted as a potential route back into parliament, with rumours abound that David Cameron’s former right hand man is eyeing up a comeback. Labour MP Emma Dent Coad is the current incumbent on a miniscule majority of 20.
Kensington in West London would certainly be fertile ground for Osborne with its bohemian, metropolitan and globalist class with many who use their homes in the area mostly as bases. If there is a snap general election Labour looks extremely vulnerable and a remainer Tory MP would most likely claim the seat.
According to one Tory MP: “Talk of George wanting to stand in Kensington has been doing the rounds for the past six weeks. He’s hungry to get back into politics. I think he thinks that if he hadn’t stood down before the 2017 election could have been prime minister by now.”
Certainly does sound like George Osborne’s level of arrogance that a man so despised by the majority of British People thinks he could be PM
Right on cue, Mr Osborne was last week spotted having a very public meeting with Mark Francois, the vice chairman of the European Research Group.
While conceding that the former MP for Tatton “had not made any decisions” and was still “mulling his options” the insider added: “He is definitely toying with the idea. He is sort of mulling over whether it is something he wants to do [to return] as an MP.”
If this insider is accurate it certainly sums up the hypocrisy and arrogance of Osborne. As a man with 8 external jobs in the kleptocratic establishment he is of the opinion that he is so talented he can just waltz back into a significant role. He is hated by both the left for his enforced austerity and the right for his anti-Brexit stance along with many more people. Who is he popular with? The answer is the bankers and the globalists who want their people in positions of authority.
Earlier this month, the Standard unexpectedly threw its weight behind Mr Johnson with the headline: “We back Boris as the PM to turn Britain around.”
The u-turn came as a shock to some who has expected the former Treasury chief, as an arch Europhile, to back Mr Johnson’s remainer rival Jeremy Hunt.
When I saw this headline I was shocked very much and did not expect it at all. All becomes clear when we read that Osborne wants to make a comeback by backing Boris here. It shows nothing but naked ambition and the fact he is using The Standard as his personal propaganda tool much to the chagrin of the decent journalists who work there.
Describing the 48-year-old father of two as “political to his fingertips”, the source added that Mr Osborne was “missing the cut and thrust” of politics. “I think he thinks he could make a contribution. He would be an asset to any Conservative government.”
All becomes clear in the last paragraph. The source has been allowed to brief this to the Telegraph to put out the feelers for his come back. It is a sad state of political affairs in the UK when seats are won and lost like this and not by winning over the people.
Osborne and Cameron were the two most visible faces of the remain campaign and their legacy among the wider public is a pitiful one. Osborne should enjoy the jobs he has at the hands of the ‘chumocracy’ and leave politics to those that really want to make a difference.
