Financial Reporter: George Osborne takes adviser role at Blackrock

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. ..."

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.

Blackrock's judgement here seems suspect, as well. Osborne is barely economically literate enough to run a lemonade stand at the street corner.

He is doing something help pensioners, he is no longer Chancellor!

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.

Having said that there was always something of the boy's toilet block about him.

being an MP must be a quarter time job with his book, lectures etc etc.

Wonder how much they are paying him and how that compares with the ftse director criticism they came out with last week?
