I’d feel a lot more comfortable about the Brexit negotiations if Osborne was playing a key role
Beside him May & her team are political pygmies
The swift way in which Angela Merkel has undermined Theresa May’s Article 50 invocation plan underlines how critical it is that Team GB has the very best team in the coming two years.
That the German Chancellor should so attack May’s Brexit negotiation plan within four hours shows how much she needs a highly skilled political team at her side. A politically astute PM, advised by a politically competent Foreign Secretary, would have anticipated the Merkel reaction and she wouldn’t have had her negotiation plan squashed so publicly so quickly.

Team Fox/Johnson/Davis are simply not up to the task in hand. They don’t have the politically skills. The one leading Tory who does is the man May sacked in such a humiliating fashion just after moving into Number 10 – ex-Chancellor and now Standard Editor, George Osborne.
May urgently needs to swallow her pride and bring Osbo back into the fold for this critical period.
She won’t of course and that is worrying.
This is so important for the nation and, if she thought about it, Theresa May’s political legacy that she cannot by-pass Osborne.
