His adverbs are as misplaced as his priorities

A beautiful and unintentional oxymoron from George Osborne (no, not ‘progressive conservatism’):

Anyone who tells you otherwise is frankly lying to you.

He’s also clearly been going to the same voice coach that got Margaret Thatcher to make her voice deeper and less shrill.

(For rather better commentary on Osborne, I recommend Chris, Duncan and Don.)
