If he was one of us from Mse he wouldn't be sending out and paying a tenner. He would have gone downstairs and got something to eat out of the freezer.

Everytime I take my family to Frankie & Benny's my burger costs more than £10. If he'd have been snaffling a £100 burger it might have been vaguely newsworthy. As it stands it's not worthy of a paragraph somewhere towards the back.

I should phone up Sky and complain as I hadn't even heard about this before reading this thread!

But basically, the story is as a publicity stunt he tweeted a picture of himself eating a burger to try and appear in touch with the "common folk" for whatever silly reason and The Sun decided to find out how much the burger cost?

Seems a bit of a non-story. Osborne needs to accept he'll never be popular. People need to accept Osborne can afford to spend £6.75 on a burger without batting an eyelid.

So why are we still talking about it then?
