George Osborne – 2022 Comments on Boris Johnson Withdrawing from Conservative Leadership

The comments made by George Osborne, the former Chancellor of the Exchequer, on Twitter on 23 October 2022.

Very welcome and sensible judgement call by Boris Johnson – the country was heading for a constitutional crisis. Instead Rishi Sunak can now – with hard but necessary decisions – begin to restore Britain’s economic credibility and good governance.
