George Osborne pictured looking lonely on the Tube as he adjusts to life as a backbencher
Former Chancellor spotted staring at his phone on the London Underground a week after he took his first Uber
GEORGE Osborne doesn’t look like he’s adjusting to live as a backbench MP very well after being pictured looking lonely on the Tube.
The Former Chancellor was spotted staring at his on the London Underground a week after he took his first Uber.
Having been groomed by David Cameron to be his successor as Prime Minister, he was instead bundled out the back of Downing Street by Theresa May when she entered Number 10 in July.
Mr Osborne has since had to return his taxpayer-funded ministerial car, and repotedly used the minicab app for the first time recebntly.
His Uber driver revealed he booked a car to take him from his home in west London to a party in Clapham, with a bottle of champagne tucked under each arm.
And yesterday he was seen on the Tube, with the picture sent to the Eye Spy MP account on Twitter, which posts sightings of politicians on social media.
He was looking intently at his smartphone and dressed casually in an open-necked shirt, jeans and suede boots.
