From the media he is already onto the gravy train...does it matter to him if its hard Brexit, soft Brexit or no Brexit?....


George Osborne earned almost £100,000 for three speeches involving less than five hours' work, it has been revealed.

The former chancellor’s two appearances at the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association in Washington earned him £69,992 from a totalling one-and-a-half hours on September 27 and October 18, according to the parliamentary register of interests.

He was also due to be paid £28,454.40 for a speech on October 17 to the Hoover Institution at California's Stanford University.

Travel and accommodation expenses were also being covered by Mr Osborne's hosts.

The total £98,446.40 for four-and-a-half hours of work declared equates to a rate of £21,877 an hour.


Shortly after being sacked from the Government by Prime Minister Theresa May in July, Mr Osborne signed up with the Washington Speakers Bureau (WSB), which offers many big political names for after-dinner speeches.
