Advice | Should George Osborne be considered as Head of IMF?

The UK’s former Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne has thrown his hat into the ring to head up the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

Not content with his current roster of jobs as Editor of the London Evening Standard, advisor to investment funds, venture capitalists, think thanks and more, the ex-politician has set his sights on a new role.

Osborne has been eyeing up the position following the departure of Christine Lagarde, who will now take on the role as President of the European Central Bank (ECB).

However, his candidacy has been branded ‘dangerous’ by Labour Leader Jeremy Corbyn, while David Blanchflower, a former member of the Bank of England’s monetary policy committee has been angered at the thought, describing Osborne as ‘the worst chancellor in 300 years’, reported Spiked.
