Former Chancellor George Osborne is to become editor of the London Evening Standard newspaper, in a surprise move that has angered opposition MPs.
The Tory MP said he was "thrilled" to succeed Sarah Sands, who is leaving to edit the BBC's Today programme.
Mr Osborne, who is to edit the paper four days a week, intends to stay on as MP for Tatton, in Cheshire.
Why is this legal ?
If he was 'signing on' as available for work he wouldn't be allowed.
How can he fit in his Blackrock job ?
It's them and us alright.
