Deep Fried Osborne?

[MarkT]

The lovable Mr Osborne appears to have burned several (well 57 to be precise) bridges with his Tory party colleagues this morning when he attempted to call their bluff on an emergency budget following a Brexit.

So does this mean in the new world (regardless of the result) we'd get a more contractor friendly chancellor once he's been given the tin tack?

Not sure it might be, but the Brexit camp seem more friendly to entrepreneurship, and may stop attempting to force us out?

Not sure - it's related to the future of contracting because most of the attacks seem to come from Osborne himself, but could go to general too...

[eek]

No they come from the even more clueless David Gauke

Would he survive without Osborne, Cameron et al?

Johnson as PM, Gove as Chancellor, IDS as Deputy PM....

Nope. There is no such thing while the court of public opionion says that we're tax evading scum and the press parrot that line repeatedly.

If there is a vote to leave, that gives Osborne the ultimate get out clause - he can introduce anything that he wants (or can try to) and say "I've got to do this because you voted out". If there is an emergency budget before any cabinet reshuffle (if one happens) then Osborne will still be in charge of the purse strings so expect more hardship, more austerity cuts, more idealogical changes disguised as being Labour's fault...

When the reshuffle comes, Gove or Boris will get Health as a punishment.

Of course it was Labour's fault. Who else was in power for 13 years?

And what's all the 'ideology' crap that the Labour party keep coming up with? What about Labour ideology of spend money you haven't got. Any elected government is going to use their ideology as that's what was voted in.

Labour: total economic mismanagement combined with lies and deceit. Rightly voted out. Under Corbyn, never to return.

And if he acts in this fashion then he really shouldn't be anywhere near government. I know it seems to have fallen out of fashion, but a MPs role is the server the public and in the best interest of the Nation. And even if Osborne did do it, he's toast and an incoming chancellor would rapidly reverse his worst policies.
