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.

The rest of us bow our heads in shame in the face of your exemplary moral virtue.

😂 I’m not, I’m laughing my head off. Couldn’t happen to a better bloke

Staff member isn't named. But said to more than one supposedly.

Someone who is fed up with him by the sounds of it

According to Alastair Campbell the email is subject to a harassment case so guessing that the author isn't one of Gideon's adult kids.

It doesn't suggest they know who it is though does it?

Qbish · 07/07/2023 16:19

Yes, now I think it's written by a woman scorned.

Tophy124 · 07/07/2023 16:22

Hmmmn that reads like it’s the ex wife of someone in the inner circle. Hoping it’s not his ex just because of the aggro it would cause if she got found out, but could see it being her friend who wrote and sent it.
Funny how he’s gone the legal route when the amount of stuff he has done has been dodgy to say the least. It’s impossible for me to feel sorry for him.

RoyalImpatience · 07/07/2023 16:30

The author is blistering angry.
Seething.

Hence they maybe older, a good writer but their annure has over taken writing style.
I'm also thinking a nanny, perhaps even one he's tried it on with..

I know some nannies to wealthy people and they don't have a good word to say about any of them.

I have to say, if you'd written this development in a novel it would have been dismissed as schlocky and very unlikely. It's all a bit Jilly Cooper, isn't it? If she'd done a big novel on Westminster.

Rishi enjoys reading Jilly Cooper so perhaps it is him?!

His ex-wife is an author and wouldn’t write that badly. Unless she was trying to cover her tracks.

This.
Can’t stand the ghastly little twat, but this is vile. It hurts lots of people, apart from him, and will probably rebound big time.

IME you never win friends and admirers by bad mouthing other people.

Glad I'm not the only one to be appalled by this poison pen letter which is exactly what it is - a malicious communication dripping with spite.
Speculation about the identity of the writer should be out of order since it involves a teenager.

It reads like some AI has been involved to cover writing style.

The guy is a knob - I had to deal with him professionally but my job means I can’t reveal details but top knob covers it.

Good point about AI.

All the people involved sound odious so this is fantastically entertaining. Imagine spending all that time and money planning a wedding for something like this to happen!

Yes, I have to admit I have rather been revelling in it. I hate this government and what the past 13 years have done to the county. The thought of Osbourne, his intended bride and assorted wealthy, powerful and privileged people all squirming and wondering what other revelations are going to be made is enjoyable and if that makes me a bad person, then so be it. Having said that the bit about the young girls (one 16 to Osbourne's 49 and the other "too drunk to stand) are troubling to say the least. I wonder if his fiancee already knew or if this is news to her.

Prestat · 07/07/2023 16:57

Don’t forgive millionaires Osborne and Cameron for austerity. It did not lead to a more prosperous economy and decimated public services. Since the 2007-08 crash, the UK economy has expanded at an average annual rate of just 0.9 per cent (compared with 2.7 per cent before the crisis). Of the G7 countries only Italy has fared worse.

AllIwantforChristmas22 · 07/07/2023 17:01

Of course it’s not one of the kids. Why would they have the emails of all Westminster journalists and why would they want this embarrassment? And how would they know
about his AND Thea’s affairs?
definitely one or more people that worked for them either privately (former nanny?) or for him as a politician

Carrie could pull this off. She's pulled off worse.

🤣🤢😱

gosh!

DarkDarkNight · 07/07/2023 17:19

Ohh saw this on Popbitch last night but no details. Off to have a nosy in Google and Twitter.

OLDERME · 07/07/2023 17:26

Did Cummings like Osborne? He does seem to fit the bill.

NoraBattysCurlers · 07/07/2023 17:40

"Feel free to share far and wide, my friends..."

It's certainly written in the style of Cummings, or even Johnson.

BelindaBears · 07/07/2023 17:56

These people are all always shagging about. It’s deeply unsurprising. Most of the people it’s been sent to are probably just as bad.

grass321 · 07/07/2023 17:57

Was it in the papers (and pulled) or not covered?

EasterBreak · 07/07/2023 17:58

Thought this was a messed up post about Prince George. Confusing op!
