Bad political lying, Mr. Osborne, no one convinced

Chancellor Osborne has been found guilty of blatant abuse of his office by lying about the Office of Budget Responsibility’s position on Brexit from the EU. The OBR stated that it is not its job to take a position on Brexit but cited 2 external assessments in the statement; one saying our economy will do better in the EU and another stating that there will be a 13% improvement if we leave. Osborne, of course, quoted the first case study and ignored the inconvenient other one in a really rather crude and obvious attempt at misrepresentation.
    Looks like he’s trying to position himself as the heir to Blair and Cameron!
