        He quit ages ago....We were just stupid enough to keep paying him! Obviously he hadn't the brass neck to fight another election.

        History will remember him as the #austerity Chancellor whose brutal cuts to social security ended with record homelessness. @Conservatives

        The cruel Chancellor who slashed state provision to poorest & most vulnerable disabled, mentally ill, addicts. Why-they don't fight back!

        Thats surely no surprise -really ? Tatton up for boundary changes - Osborne might not even get relected this time.

        I think the general election will get in before the boundary changes.

        I meant in 2019/20 - AltyBrady is popular MP and would likely be nom for new Alty/Tatton seat. GO would struggle to get elected this time.
