Osborne racks up job No 9

FORMER chancellor George Osborne has joined his brother’s Silicon Valley venture capital firm, a move that is thought to be his ninth job since leaving government.

Mr Osborne, editor of the London Evening Standard and adviser to finacne firm Blackrock, has been appointed as an adviser to San Franciscobased 9Yards Capital, says the Financial Times.

He has taken on a string of roles since he resigned as chancellor in the wake of the UK’S referendum on membership of the European Union in June 2016 and when he stood down as MP for Tatton in May 2017.

Mr Osborne’s brother, Theo, is founding partner of 9yards Capital.
