George Osborne

George Osborne is a former UK Chancellor of the Exchequer who has recently been in the news for his involvement with cryptocurrency company Coinbase. He was appointed as chair of Coinbase's global advisory council last year, but was recently banned from showing certain adverts due to concerns they trivialized the risks associated with crypto. Additionally, MPs have launched an inquiry into the work of the Office for Budget Responsibility, which Osborne established 15 years ago during his tenure as Chancellor. These recent events highlight Osborne's continued influence in UK politics and finance, despite no longer holding elected office.
