Apologies to interject your serious conversation, but who's running the book on how long George has got?

George Osborne slashed to 7/4 to leave Chancellor post this year

Bookmaker William Hill has once again cut its odds on George Osborne leaving his post as Chancellor before the end of 2016.

Mr Osbborne, a 6/1 chance to cease to be Chancellor this year BEFORE he delivered the Budget, has now been gambled down to 7/4 with William Hill to stand down before the end of the year.

Also his odds of being next leader have taken a hit since last week to the benefit of Johnson.

Went from 4.2 (16/5) to 7.2 (6/1) on Betfair in the last 5 days.

That's a huge drop in odds

Predictable, IDS voted with the government when it came to the budget vote. What a man of principles!

I used to like David Cameron however George Osborne has made him detestable by association which is sad. The budget was ropey as well to the benefit of the rich however was there anything in there that would impact on smaller business owners?

This government created those rules, if they do exist?

Never heard of it before, seems the BBC haven't either as he asked why... More like the government didn't want the disabled getting all the publicity. He should've just kept on filming..

Always said the BEEB were in the hands of the party

IDS, Cameron and Osborne are all undoubtedly evil runts, IDS has been the one taking the sole blame for the treatment of the disabled/poor though, so I suppose it was pretty clever of him to suddenly take the moral high ground and point the finger at Dumb and Dumber making him do evil things even though he seemed to enjoy it way too much over the past 6yrs.
