Shock Poll: Osborne Most Popular Tory Chancellor Ever
Here is something you probably didn’t ever expect to read: George Osborne is the most popular Tory chancellor in modern history according to pollsters Ipsos Mori.
Guido called them up to check. Yes they have asked the same question since Geoffrey Howe; “Are you satisfied or dissatisfied with what X is doing?”
Osborne has a 20% net approval rating, higher than Lawson’s at the time of the boom, higher than that nice Mr Major’s rating, higher than Ken Clarke when he handed over the goldilocks economy to Labour. Incidentally, Darling had a 20% net disapproval rating immediately before him.
Bloody hell!
It’s not surprising is it? We love little Georgie, slashing the Labour luvvies, scroungers, troughers and pointless bureaucrats. More please.
Pearson’s resigned as UKIP leader, by the way – apparently he realised he was shit at politics so gave up.
Credit to him for that. It takes a certain strength of character to publicly admit to one’s failings; most politicians can’t manage it. Lord Pearson strikes me as a decent and honourable man.
It’s arl’ ma fult!
An ah’ did’nae sav’ tha’ wuld! – so that mak’s me a liar too!
modded elsewhere….
Farridge said that politics is a daft game that he couldn’t deal with.
oh dear!
Are you satisfied or dissatisfied with the job Gordon Brown is doing as Chancellor of the exchequer ?

Poor little George.
Just imagine how far he could fall.
Thank you Sarah. How’s the weather in Canterbury?
Sorry to spoil your fun tat
Don’t start crying and run away from the site vowing never to return
AGAIN
Some of us would find that just too hilarious
The point you missed as usual (because you’re thick as pigshit) is don’t make a song and dance about the polling of Chancellors when you know what the past results were as I’m sure Guido did
And by the way tat,
fuck off
Yet more “brains in my arse” tat twat thinking, I suppose you have a degree in David Beckham studies too Mr mong?
lay off the drugs tat
and stop wanking over a nearly retired footballer
An approval rating during a boom, wow thats so relevant to an approval rating during a bust? The Darling/Osborne comparison is far more relevant. Still wouldn’t be like a Labour opinion on an issue to spin it would it now?
These polls are quite frankly rubbish. Using them to adduce that any politician,party etc. is “doing something popular” is pie in the sky. When the true extent of the millionaire political toffs’ war on the people and particularly the “middle classes” (and I don’t mean the likes of Cameron) becomes evident, I can guarantee that Osborne’s ratings will be lower than a snakes belly i.e. a bit like him.
I quite like what farridge said on the radio this morning.
Something like Pearson’s good but politics is shit.
Am I not allowed to call him farridge or something?
Funny you mentioned him as I was searching the air crash investigation site,Fate hey?
Not a trace of his crash on there,though the plane is reported in a 2006 crash,in similar circumstances.

If there is no AAIB investigation that will be a first,and very suspicious.

LOL………….
I’m not surprised. I’ve always said he will go down in history as the best chancellor we ever had.
Osborne is a serious MP with genuine desire to see Britain recover from the profligacy of the evil mental socialists.
He may not be so popular next year when the cuts bite, however, his enduring legacy will be a stable economy. He knows it will cost him for the rest of his political career which is why I have respect for him- Country before reputation -a proppert public school lad, worth ten of the traitors Darling and McRuin
Well said Sir Trevor.
As for public opinion, the public has been living in cloud cuckoo land for far too long (3 holidays a year and a holiday home in Provence are not the norm) — back to reality please.
I tend to disagree that this can’t be the norm.
It cannot be the norm in an economy ruined by excessive taxation of transfers (i.e. wealth creation), and can only exist whereby credit expansion is used to try to hide the damage (until the inevitable crash).
it’s downhill all the way from here on in little poodle
Owning property in Provence is certainly not the norm, we socialists prefer Tuscany – I’m off to cobble some soviet shite together for the Grauniad now so feck orrf prols.
I just love to see all my toryboy windowlickers wanking over Dave and Gideon
I’m off for some Clare quim again
I just love the way Osborne winds up the dribbling old leftie wing of Labour. Full marks for that.
Now back to munching on some delightful Kentish rug.
After the nation has had to endure Broon’s economic “miracle”, and the resulting shitstorm that happened on Darling’s watch (even though it wasn’t entirely his fault), they’d approve of almost anybody.
I was the greatest ever Chancellor.
Course you was the best Chancellor, Gordon. Nurse is on way with nice littul injection!
I remain a great Prime Minister and global leader. I had to kill the nurse last night. It was the right thing to do because she was a bigotted woman.

George Osborne was surprised to learn this week that he is the most popular Conservative chancellor since Ipsos/Mori began testing public opinion on the issue in the 1970s. But he knows that the warm feeling may not last.
Mr Osborne’s Budget last month heralded £113bn of spending cuts and tax rises, an austerity package whose necessity seems to be appreciated by the public, who have yet to see what it means in practice.
http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/84c2f5f0-8610-11df-bc22-00144feabdc0.html
Look, please stop highlighting anything good about British history, it’s upsetting for our Somalian refugees. They slam the doors in their 12 bedroom taxpayer rented Chelsea mansions and upset the celebrity neigbours.
according to the polls you were
but we don’t believe in polls
except this one
ROFL!
I believe that the Labour/Libdem coalition is doing the right thing and getting on with the job. Working for a fairer and juster Britain.
http://gordon-brown.blogspot.com/
we know you do tat
Isn’t it a bit early for this?
Ask after the Spending Review comes out…
Yeah if he has this in 12 months time then well done but at the minute we are still in the phoney war. I have to admit though, he has been a lot better than I thought he would have been.
I always knew he’d got what it takes.
How I miss Osborne’s contemptuous body language in PMQs when McNutter was on the stump.
hit me with your rhythm stick ducky kind of language
Lies, Damned lies and Opinion Polls?
Where do Brown and Darling score?
Public lavatories.
Well said that man/woman/transgender/alien. That was funny
I think it was in the back alley behind No 10 near the bins.
Interesting that Howe, Clarke and Osborne all had positive ratings when they had dished out tough love in austerity budgets.
It is named the STELLA ARTOIS effect or wife beater to you and me.
Apparently they love it love it and always go back for more and so do the public love it when we have a tough chancellor.
My wife-beater my hero
AKA Stockholm Syndrome?
Someone who lets you spend more of the the money you earn being popular?
What a shock.
Survey was conducted in Tory shopping centre.
111 ‘Tory shopping centre’: where can I find one of those?
‘Now look, my man, it’s quite simple, I want three man-traps & ditto spring-guns, a couple of village maidens delivered to my door each fortnight, three widows to evict each Michaelmas, an adequate and continuing supply of Faces, poor, for the purpose of grinding…’
‘Yes, Sir, immediately, Sir…’
You don’t get that at Homebase!
You ungrateful bigots! I gave you child tax credits! I was the greatest chancellor and prime minister of all time! Child tax credits!
O/T, but Littlejohn in the Mail has a very good Adrian Mole pastiche:
The Secret Diary of Nick Clegg
Now if only Guido’s Ed Balls diaries were as well crafted…
Yeah but… can Littlejohn sink a pint of Guinness in 7 seconds? I think not.
7? My sister can do 5, but then again she is a teacher so practices a lot…
Respect is due…
I think i saw that film
Yes but he usually then gets in his car and is stopped for drink driving
So what!
and not in a good way
Well he’s a charming young man and went to a good school. So much better than that marxist ruffian Darling.
And as far as I know he hasn’t done anything stupid with our gold reserves.
yet…
Well, he can’t, can he? We’ve got none left.
NONE???? Who has got it all? Cash4Gold?
The Torygraph knows,and remember how the information was ordered to be released BEFORE the election?
The issue was seized upon by David Cameron at last week’s Prime Minister’s Questions – expected to be the penultimate encounter before the election campaign. The Conservative leader asked Mr Brown to confirm that documents relating to the gold sale “will be published in full, with no redactions, before the general election”.
The Prime Minister answered “I am very happy for any document to be published on that matter.”
http://renegadeeconomist.com/news/telegraph-gordon-brown-accused-coverup-gold-sale.html
we got it all
What can he do? Some idiot sold the lot.
Not quite, McRuin only sold half of it. There’s another 395 tonnes sitting there, waiting to be pissed-away by the next Labour government.
Perhaps if we made it highly radoactive or something it would stop next labour govt selling it
Seen it a hundred times already tat. Like you it gets exceedingly boring after a while.
tat wouldn’t post an anti Gordon vid, it’s Dave he hates to the point of mental illness.
tat’s a mental case
he posts vids about his asda girlfriend almost as much as this one
Say what you like about tat, but all his postings are about politics or slagging off other posters. The Asda bint is not his.
Mong.studying Tat. Oxford.
see the tory snide move.tat is mental if he does not like the Tory leader.
So tat loves Gordon Brown? In a manly sort of way I should hope.
The Tory leader insisted he supports the BBC and the licence fee

So? I like the idea of a public service broadcaster we could even call it the BBC, however nay means I have to like its output or the tossers like you who work for it and kiss it’s propaganda spewing ass !.
Go George!
Can this Mr Osbornes please givings us free ten bedrooms house and much many free benefits? Thanks you please. And Death to the West. Alan akbar.
I am sorry but the UK is under new management so you can now just F*** OFF and try your luck elsewhere.
yes it is EU management
40 – Yes: try France: I understand they have a very enlightened policy on niquabs and burkas. I believe Saudi Arabia is almost equally liberal. Then there’s Yemen, Dubai, Oman…Best, probably, to steer clear of Afghanistan for the mo… likewise Somalia, and ERitrea.
Also just in; the coldest part of hell is the sixth circle.
Fancy that.
Waaah! Dey making fun of my Gordo! I wuv him!
How dare the british public not hate George Osborne like we do? After all we’ve done for them.
I think you mean “to” them, not “for” them.
37 – and, of course, anyone else would know it should have been ‘as we do’ (well, perhaps Americans excepted).
To be employed by the BBC you have to Really hate him
Evan Davies tried to duff him up on the Toady prog. this morning, whining about whether or not cuts were progressive. Osborne demolished him with ease. Very satisfying.
Don’t let the fact that Gideon has never had a proper job get in the way of the fact that he is tantamount to the second coming.
Perhaps others who have never had a proper job could also become chancellor too? After all, Britain is a democracy isn’t it, where merit is rewarded?
Then again . . .
Jesus never had a proper job but people liked him
Whereas prince Edward was founder and chief executive of Ardent Productions; the Royal family’s best ever foray into the world of trade.
A fiasco.so were the games
Thought he was a chippy like his dad?
He was a very good carpenter, story writer and none to bad at the old homebrew too.
Bit of a medic also by all accounts.
Not bad at catering either, especially fish and bread.
He turned his hand to magic at times as well (that trick with the fishes and loaves) multi talented.
Jesus wasn’t a good story-writer at all; no part of the New Testament is contemporaneous to Christ. It was all written by others, decades after Christ
diedascended to Heaven.Bit of an oversight on Christ’s part, really.. not writing anything down. I mean, some of it was apparently quite important.
I rekon just damn good with PR.
if he is such a smart arse let him write it with a make it so .
Tessa Tickles – Good to see the Protestant/Rationalist New Testament Theologising of the late Nineteenth Century has reached you at last! God, I think, has a wry sense of humour, and often allows some archaeological/paleographical discovery to be made, just when it seems that Dawkins and his learned predecessors have triumphed.
In the last years of the Nineteenth Century, ‘everyone’ agreed that, for instance, St. John’s Gospel was written about 210A.D.. J.A.T. Robinson – the enfant terrible, ‘Honest to God’ and all that – noted much later how this ‘estimate’ “has been coming down, ever since” (since, e.g. the ‘Rylands Papyrus’ p45 of a few words undeniably from St. John and undeniably (apparently, on papyrological evidence) from NO LATER THAN 130 A.D. The Dead Sea Scrolls showed that e.g. the ‘light/darkness antinomies of St. John might not, after all, have been ‘Second Century Hellenistic’, but current in pre-A.D. 70 Judaism (the ‘Dead Sea Scrolls’ community at Qmran was wiped out by the Romans before the Destruction of Jerusalem in A.D. 70)…
they loved him so much they stoned him and nailed him to a stick.
I don’t care if its your job if you want me to get a job then I want your job.
I’m usually the second coming.
I’m going to Button Moon
Hello Mr Spoon
Button Moon
Be back soon
Button Moon
somewhere there’s a loony who thinks he is Gordon Brown
Somewhere, there’s a Gordon Brown who thinks he’s not a loony.
Regrettably this is for me somewhat tainted by the likelihood that the most popular chancellor since the survey began was probably McSnotter.
probably most popular (after all the years of BBC mind conditioning) and least popular (after reality bit back).
Like that slowly disappearing, little white dot in the middle of the screen, after you switched the TV off, in the bad old days of B&W.
I was the greatest of them all and don’t you forget it, now where was I, oh yes…
‘hello mr hand, say hello to mr poo – shall we hide from nursie behind the curtains again…’
Apparently Gordon’s doc wanted urine, semen, blood and stool samples from the man so Sarah sent him a pair of Broon’s gardening gloves.
What does that leave?

A Chancellor with “Common Sense” – a thing that is always lacking in the Left hookers. – They believe money grows in Tax payers pockets so all you need to do is squeeze more and more.
The majority of people whether Tory, Lib/Dem or Labour know you have to live within yours means. There are no Free Lunches – Some other poor Sod always has to Pay the bills!!
Look at the Left Wing Union Leaders – they can pay themselves big increases in the belief that the public or their members will never notice, or be too complacent to care.

Brown Most Successful Chancellor, Say British Political Scientists
Gordon Brown has been rated the most successful post-War Chancellor in an exclusive Ipsos MORI poll of nearly 300 academics belonging to the Political Studies Association (PSA).
PSA members rated Gordon Brown’s performance on average as 7.9 out of 10 — his nearest rivals were Kenneth Clarke (Conservative Chancellor between 1993 and 1997) and Stafford Cripps (Labour Chancellor between 1947 and 1950), both rated as 6.1 out of 10. Norman Lamont (Conservative Chancellor between 1990 and 1993) was rated as the least successful of the UK’s 20 post-War Chancellors, with an average score of just 2.3.
Brown is also rated as the most successful Chancellor in terms of providing economic stability, working independently from the Prime Minister and leaving a lasting legacy on Britain’s economy
http://www.ipsos-mori.com/researchpublications/researcharchive/poll.aspx?oItemId=367
LoL
Most successful at what? Ruining the country?
you mean the polls are fickle Engineer ?
who would have guessed
They said Chancellor (originally Cancellarius – scribe), not Chancellor of the Exchequer. So these learned chaps are saying he was the greatest pen pusher that has been. This is of course true as the marks in the seat backs of his former official car prove. These academics are not so stupid as they first appear.
o
Brown bummed the economy until he split its sphincter and carried on bumming it even though he was being showered in shit
Published in2006, before Browns debt crisis and his destruction of the economy was uncovered.
Nice try though, very socialist/soviet in its deception.
of course they were pre banking crisis you fuckwit
and this poll of Osborne is 100 days in
It’s no feckin use if it’s pre Labour disaster is it you arsewipe.

How many of the Academics vote Tory or Lib/Dem?
Probably none of them have ever run a business or employed anyone.
Who did they poll
His mum?
postal votes.
In just three months, Osborne has done more good than Jonah did in his entire ten years as chancellor. I bet this poll will make Brown even more bitter and enraged than he already is, and will make him throw a dozen Nokias at the ghostwriter helping him with his 55,000 page memoirs.

The risk of a teenager dropping out of school, training and work has risen by 40% since the start of the coalition, research suggests today.
Just over 9% of young people with Level 3 qualifications, which include A-levels, were classed as NEET – not in education, employment or training – in the second quarter of 2010, up from 6.4% in the first quarter of 2008.
The analysis of the Labour Force Survey, conducted by the ippr think-tank and the Private Equity Foundation (PEF), comes just days before A-level results are published.
But you dropped out of uni before the coalition came to power didnt you?
Must be BBC research.
Aren’t they on school holidays? Are the universities back yet?
Brown was still PM for the first 5+ weeks of the second quarter and the effects of his policies will continue long after he was finally prised out of No. 10. Are you really suggesting that the coalition managed to effect a major increase in youth unemployment in less than 2 months?
Well done George
Mind the windows you wanker.
for what? the Hunt has only just got the job.
I believe there must have been some sexual dimension to Brown’s reckless abuse of the economy
He must have wanked a lot
He certainly spunked way our wealth

He was blind to the effects.

The Media like to portray the Great Publish public as ignorant and stupid. The public knows that the country is bust and the public knows there has to be cuts. Those who complain about the cuts are most likely the ones who can’t be bothered to vote at elections.

Aunty Glad, Hi – fancy seeing you on here!
It will take far too long to reply to you. Dig back through Guido’s archives to say six months before the election and just read away to your heat’s content. You will find out everything you need to know. Keep a couple of sick buckets by your laptop though – just in case.
Hope that helps

Isn’t “most popular tory chancellor” rather like “tallest dwarf” or “most attractive blogger”?
I’m a large dieter,barf
171 – or “most honest Labour Politician” or “most competent Labour Chancellor” or “most unemphatic Archbishop of Canterbuty”
Just a thought, Guido: suppose the Pollsters (as I suppose we now have to start calling them) had just asked (of Chancellors), ‘Do you think he’s – all things considered – a nice bloke?’ Kenneth Clarke mightn’t have topped the list (Yes: we know he’s not good at arithmetic, and we know he’s not REELY a Conservative… but, somehow, he just seems fun – cuddly! Plus: he likes Jazz, n’ enjoys a cigar. I c’n imagine asking him to come round an’ babysit… ‘n’ I c’n imagine him sayin’ yes!)
‘Stafford who? Oh, for a moment I thought you said Crippen! Frightened the life out of me! Yes, well, I s’pose he does anyway. Funny isn’t it that the ones who came in promisin’ prosperity for all are now the same ones preachin’ “austerity”. Mind you, he looks as if he’s never known anything but ‘austerity’: I don’t reckon he’ll last long, poor lamb.
‘Jus’ look at those eyebrows! Min’ you: despite the eyebrows, he’s a clever-lookin’ chap – what my Gran, though, would call ‘book-learned’. See, he’s clever as an imp, I reckon: argify black’s white an’ convince a Englishman he’s really black, an’ an’ African he’s really white! Trouble is, when it comes to gold, silver, and bronze: c’n see ‘im convincin’ me that bronze was far better than silver… an’ as for gold! But, what good company e’d be!
No: don’t like either the look or the sound of ee. Too young… no experience…telling us we have to have cuts?
What you got ‘ere, then? A list of potential Chancellors of the Exchequer?
Well, why didn’t you say that before!
More Poll bollocks, its abit like saying who would you rather have fuck you up the arse!
Ooooooh !! I can name thousands !!
I am the greatest Chance

Enjoy Liebour’s debt hangover !
Not totally shocking. I think some people may have forgotten just how unpopular Tory chancellors were back in the 80s. They were deeply hated by large chunks of the population.
Calling someone the “most popular Tory chancellor” is a bit like calling someone “the most considerate serial killer”.
Still, the fact he’s in positive territory is a bit scary. I guess that must just show how utterly relieved everyone is that at least we don’t still have one of those Labour numpties doing the job.
After how long in office were the polls taken for the other men? Osborne may be on a roll now but when VAT rises come and jobs are lost he will not be. No one who was going to do the job which needs doing to salvage the battered national finances would be popular. So he isn’t doing it. But he will have to and then……………………….. then you will see how popular he will be.
Lies, damn lies and more lies! Statistics (taken from my forthcoming book) will prove beyond doubt that in a global context, and by turning the page upside down, I am the most popular and best chancellor ever.
The academics are correct, particularly that Blanchflower man who seems to be in America now, but no matter. He started in Britain.
Did I mention that I am about to donate the entire proceeds from my forthcoming book to the British Bankers Benevolent Fund? Must go, I am expecting any moment a call from Africa where I have a number of opportunities yet to explore.
If anyone spots Sarah can you give me a call?
God. Please let labour die.
I feel that I must take issue with Guido about him promoting the use of this awful expression “Deficit Deniers”, which is about as unpleasant and hackneyed as “War on terror” and “Hard-working Families” – not to mention the favourite BBC Today expression “on a daily/weekly/monthly/yearly basis”. What the heck is wrong with just saying “daily” or “every day” instead of this estuarine garbage “basis” thing?
The most appropriate interchangeable words for “Deficit denier” are probably “Fool” or “Halfwit”. I draw the line at “Arithmetically Challenged Opposition Politician” as it’s not snappy enough.
Like all right wing tories, Guido clearly is a retarded Hunt.
Really? More popular than Tony Barber in 1972 when he chopped sixpence (old pence) in the pound off income tax?
