A lot has happened in the world of UK politics over the last few weeks but you may well remember the sacking of George Osborne.

Despite now being *just* an MP, the ex-Chancellor has continued to offer his advice on the economy.

Today for instance he chimed in on interest rates.

BoE right to use triple whammy of lower official rates, QE & funding scheme to support demand.But only a temporary answer as economy adjusts

Must be matched by permanent supply side reform:lower biz taxes, free trade with EU & unambiguous message we're open to overseas investment.

The public for their part have just thoroughly enjoyed reminding him that he was in fact sacked...

@George_Osborne Er, are you ok? I mean, have you forgotten? Or not told the wife yet? You need a digital detox! Now!

@George_Osborne Run along, sonny, the days when anyone listened to you are long gone.

@George_Osborne why comment when you were sacked because you were a useless Chancellor?

It was around 7pm on a Wednesday evening when the world learned George Osborne had resigned from the Government during Theresa May’s cabinet reshuffle.

@George_Osborne you left the economy in a mess you smug, sneering git.

@George_Osborne it was you that messed it up stupid

— James D Quail (@JDQ1) August 4, 2016

Then minutes later it transpired it may have actually been far more brutal and he’d actually been fired.

@George_Osborne Oh! I'd forgotten I still followed you from the days when your pathetic "opinion" mattered!

@George_Osborne let it go George, move on. Big Phil is in charge now. No one really gives a hoot for your economic commentary anymore

After more than six years in the Cabinet, Osborne he was being unceremoniously dumped and replaced as Chancellor by Philip Hammond.

@George_Osborne he senses the quiet in the room now. The phone no longer rings, the media don't want to talk to you. Oh the silence

— Dominic Boyd (@Domboyd75) August 4, 2016

@George_Osborne Lad, you fucked the country for six years. Don't pretend to know what you're talking about after being publically sacked

— Seán Webb MUFC (@seanwebb87) August 4, 2016

There did appear to be some people who had missed the whole episode though...

@George_Osborne why haven't you been fired

— James D Quail (@JDQ1) August 4, 2016

But there were still the classics.

@George_Osborne fuck off Gideon

— Michael (@MikeMufc91) August 4, 2016

And even some career advice.

@George_Osborne Oh shut up! What happened to interest rate rises post Brexit? You should join @edballs on Strictly #twats

— Jon from Enfieldski (@enfield_jon) August 4, 2016

And to finish just for the hell of it...
