 George Osborne - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
George Gideon Oliver Osborne (born 23 May 1971 in London) is a Conservative politician in the United Kingdom, and has been Member of Parliament for Tatton since 2001.
During Osborne's response to the Chancellor of the Exchequer Gordon Brown's Pre-Budget Report on 5 December 2005 (in which Brown announced the revision of his estimate for UK growth in 2005 to from 3.50% to 1.75%), Osborne attacked Brown as "a Chancellor past his sell by date, a Chancellor holding Britain back".
Osborne found himself rebuked by the Speaker of the House of Commons on 26th October 2006 when he attacked the Chancellor at Oral Questions to the Chancellor by citing a comment attributed to the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions John Hutton (describing the Chancellor as likely to make an 'effing awful' Prime Minister).

 George Osborne (person)@Everything2.com
George Osborne is a Conservative Member of Parliament for Tatton and Shadow Chancellor of the Exchequer, effectively David Cameron's right-hand man in his mission to re-invent the Conservative Party.
George was educated at St Paul's School and went on to Magdalen College, Oxford where he read modern history, was a demy and became joint editor of the University magazine Isis.
George gambled on the fact that Bell would decide not to stand again, and in this case, his judgment proved correct and he duly regained the seat at the 2001 General Election with a majority of 8,611 becoming, at the age of thirty, the youngest Conservative in the House of Commons.

 George Osborne - the young pretender   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
Osborne, together with his side-kick, shadow education secretary David Cameron, are billed as the 'Tory Blair and Brown', the duo that can turn around the party's fortunes.
Osborne has already been cast as the Brown character, deciding not to stand in the autumn leadership contest preferring instead to hone his skills on the front bench.
But privilege aside, Osborne has worked hard for the party and his rather liberal (he voted against anti-homosexual legislation, section 28) but Eurosceptic views mean he doesn't confirm to a stereotype, which could present future problems for opposition parties.

 Observer | Tories follow Blair's route to power - via Japan
George Osborne, the Tory shadow Chancellor, hurtled backwards at 500km an hour, in his most determined attempt yet to prove his party's commitment to the environment.
Osborne ended up musing about the relationship between economic development and political freedom ('I believe the Soviet Union was brought down by Levi's jeans, not by Reagan's missiles,' he said.) He also gave a revealing explanation of the Tories' new-found zeal for environmentalism.
Osborne's enthusiasm was ridiculed by observers, who spotted a warning from Cameron in 2004 that anyone who talked about a '21st-century transport system' would be 'taken outside and shot'.
