Financial Reporter: George Osborne takes adviser role at Blackrock
Blackrock's judgement here seems suspect, as well. Osborne is barely economically literate enough to run a lemonade stand at the street corner.
This from the person who, as chancellor over the past six years, cut the pensions lifetime allowance by more than 50% in real terms, and the annual allowance by more than 80%. Just jaw-dropping hypocrisy.He said: "I am excited to be working with the BlackRock Investment Institute as an adviser. ... BlackRock wants better outcomes for pensioners and savers - and I want to help them deliver that. ..."

He was lambasted for looking after his own. Cutting back the perks of millionaire pensioners surely contradicts that.
The pension freedoms he introduced were unexpected and will benefit millions.
