George Osborne (born Gideon Oliver Osborne; 23 May 1971) is a British Conservative Party politician who has been Chancellor of the Exchequer since 2010 and Member of Parliament (MP) for Tatton since 2001.
Osborne worked for The Daily Telegraph before joining the Conservative Research Department and becoming head of its political section. He was a special adviser to Douglas Hogg at the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food and worked at 10 Downing Street as well as for Prime Minister John Major's campaign team in the party's unsuccessful 1997 general election campaign before becoming a speechwriter and political secretary to Major's successor as party leader, William Hague.
In 2001, Osborne was elected as MP for Tatton, becoming the youngest Conservative MP in the House of Commons. He was appointed Shadow Chief Secretary to the Treasury by Conservative leader Michael Howard in 2004. In 2005, he ran David Cameron's successful leadership campaign. Cameron appointed Osborne Shadow Chancellor of the Exchequer and, after the 2010 general election, Chancellor in the Conservative–Liberal Democrat coalition government.

Plot: The British Empire flowers; exotic India colors English imaginations. Becky Sharp, the orphaned daughter of a painter and a singer, leaves a home for girls to be a governess, armed with pluck, a keen wit, good looks, fluent French, and an eye for social advancement. Society tries its best to keep her from climbing. An episodic narrative follows her for 20 years, through marriage, Napoleonic wars, a child, loyalty to a school friend, the vicissitudes of the family whose daughters she instructed, and attention from a bored marquess who collected her father's paintings. Honesty tempers her schemes. No aristocrat she, nor bourgeois, just spirited, intelligent, and irrepressible.

Plot: Set against the background of the Battle of Waterloo, Becky Sharp is the story of Vanity Fair by Thackeray. Becky and Amelia are girls at school together, but Becky is from a "show biz" family, or in other words, very low class. Becky manages to insinuate herself in Amelia's family and gets to know all their friends. From this possibly auspicious- beginning, she manages to ruin her own life, becoming sick, broke, and lonely, and also ruins the lives of many other "loved ones". In the movie we get to see the class distinctions in England at the time, and get a sense of what it was like for the English military at the time of the Napoleonic wars.

Genres: Drama, Short,The best of the worst of George "Gideon" Osbourne. In no particular order a few of our Gideon's finest moments. When not cutting public services of handing out tax breaks to his millionaire chums and various corporations our Gideon has managed to embarrass himself on the following occasions: Getting booed at the paralympics During his speech at the GQ Awards Forcing a Star Wars Joke While watching Keane (The band not the ROI player) Knowing his Times Tables (Why should a chancellor answer a maths question?) Sending Ken Clarke to sleep and our personal favorite Tripping in Parliament
For some people George Osborne represents everything that's unhealthy about modern politics. He's rich, privileged and never had a proper job outside Westminster. He's also, say his critics, overly fond of minutely strategising the political embarrassment of his enemies. But to his fans he's responsible for many of this government's proudest achievements and masterminded the Conservatives' election winning strategy. On Wednesday 16th March he will deliver his eighth budget, which if the EU referendum goes against him could prove to be his last. So what do we know about George Osborne? David Grossman has this assessment. ********** Newsnight is the BBC's flagship news and current affairs TV programme - with analysis, debate, exclusives, and robust interviews.
