Oh my!

MmaRra · 07/07/2023 02:48

This couldn't have happened to a nicer guy or gal.

Zonder · 07/07/2023 08:03

Goodness!

ManAboutTown · 07/07/2023 08:14

Osborne is an odious little turd. A sort of Tory version of Mandelso;n

Westfacing · 07/07/2023 08:20

Blimey!

HaveYouHeardOfARoadAtlas · 07/07/2023 08:21

I wonder if the wedding is still on

Yes. Very bitter.

Is there an accusation in there of sexual assault in there of a drunk underage girl? The rest of it doesn't compare.

There is. Very unpleasant

WorkingItOutAsIGo · 07/07/2023 08:30

Crumbs. I know someone who knew him at school and said he was odious then…clearly hasn’t changed. Well done that kid for writing this with all the sources linked!

RedToothBrush · 07/07/2023 08:30

Oh to be a lucky recipient of an invitation...

Gove. I reckon it was Gove.

More likely to be Gove's ex wife?

VestaTilley · 07/07/2023 08:36

That’s a good call actually - written by Vine, one of the Gove kids or one of the Osborne kids I think.

StormShadow · 07/07/2023 08:41

Well that was... quite a read.

Notonthestairs · 07/07/2023 08:44

I think there are two young women referenced - or have I muddled it?

Westfacing · 07/07/2023 08:46

I don't think it reads like one of his children has written it - I'm no expert but it sounds like someone of Osborne's age and within his wider social/political circle, just out to make mischief.

It's a mean thing to do as it casts suspicion on everyone - I hope his ex-wife and other people damaged by his and her alleged behaviour are not suffering any embarrassment by all of this.

Daffodil18 · 07/07/2023 08:46

Definitely sounds like his daughter wrote that as there is so much personal details of their childhood.

VegetablesFightingToReclaimTheAubergieneEmoji · 07/07/2023 08:48

oh!
breaking the ministerial code and the young girls could be an issue couldnt it.

Probably. But the idea of it being Gove amuses me much much more.

Mutabiliss · 07/07/2023 08:51

I read this last night, very impressed by the receipts 😂 I do wonder if the wedding is still going ahead?

Hadn't thought about it being one of his children, but definitely a possibility. What sordid little lives these politicians lead.

Why should they be embarrassed at him being a lying cheating toad?

Oh dear I am so bad with names, was thinkingCraig Oliver was Craig David

HaveYouHeardOfARoadAtlas · 07/07/2023 08:53

I don’t think anonymous emails are Sarah Vines MO. She’s more likely to write an article for the DM reporting rumours of xyz.

Antoninus · 07/07/2023 08:53

Odious, privileged and entitled, others are there simply to serve them

Americano75 · 07/07/2023 08:54

Had sex with a girl so drunk she couldn't stand? What's the word for that again?

ForTheSnarkWasABoojumYouSee · 07/07/2023 08:54

Never have I been so sad not to be on a wedding guest list.

My money's on the daughter.

Just that it makes the whole thing very public, and some people are already speculating that they could be responsible for the email.
