I've read it but I'm totally confused and can't make head or tails of it.

PJHarvey · 07/07/2023 10:09

What's this about?

GreenIsTheMagicColour · 07/07/2023 10:12

A bit of context might help.

Google to read it. Basically someone who obviously knows him and the Westminster village very well has emailed everyone in politics/journoland with an excoriating and minutely detailed catalogue of both George and his finances dalliances adn affairs and general bad behaviour going back decades. With references to hints and downright mentions on public domain news and social media sites. Namechecks so many sources like Guidofawkes and popbitch and Sarah Vine..

To be clear, the George referred to is former Chancellor George (Gideon) Osborne, who is getting married this weekend.

OP I've read the email and it's certainly something!

Well this is interesting.
A bit shocked to see a Tory up to no good.
Oh, wait....

Popbitch reported that someone sent an email to all the guests at George and Thea's wedding (due to be tomorrow) alleging he can't keep it in his pants still and was shagging around after they got together including when she was pregnant and she had form for breaking up other relationships.

Then someone leaked the email. And it's linked all over twitter. Not even remotely hard to find.

The email has links to lots of newspaper gossip, tweets and popbitch articles which are time stamped (so have verifiable dates) which do indeed drop massive hints about his conduct.

Some of these allegations don't have that and are quite unpleasant/legally or morally dubious (I can't post these here as that would be potentially libelous).

Some women are named.

The emailer also hints that they have dirt on many of the others in Osborne's circle of friends.

It's incredibly grim reading but also incredibly glorious in the sheer horror of how someone has clearly got their revenge.

The Best Man is busy rewriting his speech in desperation as we speak.

Switcher · 07/07/2023 10:27

Geez, with friends like these...

WelshNerd · 07/07/2023 10:27

Oh no, not George Osborne. A man who was previously held in such high esteem by the general public.

I guess you really can't trust anyone these days.

GuinnessBird · 07/07/2023 10:28

Oh no, another Tory MP up to no good.

EggInANest · 07/07/2023 10:33

Nasty.

And only effective as revenge / malice because people read it and circulate it.

I don’t condone the (alleged) behaviour, but I have not clicked on any of the links to it as I don’t want to be a tool in someone else’s act of revenge, even less so as part of the threat to other parties.

Not the way to ensure better standards in public office.

Silkierabbit · 07/07/2023 10:33

Yes very interesting reading. Was a couple of threads on here already https://www.mumsnet.com/talk/_chat/4843544-theemail-the-former-mp-due-to-get-married

Was trying to work out who wrote it but would not think its wise to say much publicly.

meddysam · 07/07/2023 10:33

How do these awful men get so much action?!

FirstFallopians · 07/07/2023 10:35

Did I read that incorrectly- he’s accused of sleeping with a teenager?

ChiaraRimini · 07/07/2023 10:36

People are speculating the writer is one of his kids from his first marriage. Gideon has behaved appallingly to his first wife and family.

GuinnessBird · 07/07/2023 10:37

FirstFallopians · 07/07/2023 10:35

Yes, she was 16 at the time.

Hippywannabe · 07/07/2023 10:38

I would hazard a guess that the writer could be an adult child of his-I assume he has some. How does he find time to do his job if this is true?

Silkierabbit · 07/07/2023 10:39

He has 2 children Luke and Liberty.

Silkierabbit · 07/07/2023 10:40

That's from first marriage. Others are too young.

RedToothBrush · 07/07/2023 10:43

What amazes me is how it seems utterly impossible for Male Tory MPs to keep their trouser snakes under control.

It's like it's a requirement to get a nomination to stand.

Have you ever shagged, touch or harassed someone you shouldn't in a completely inappropriate manner? Yes? Great you can stand for the rural conservative constituency of Uptight-On-The-Water at the next election.

More seriously it funny how all these allegations are known about for years by the press - and they come out in a sleaze fest just before it look likely there will be a change in government. It also almost as if these secrets are useful blackmail tools for the whips to keep the dutiful in line.
