FRUSTRATION is a word and a half to describe how I feel over George Osborne, who is both smug and pleased over his latest editor job on the Evening Standard newspaper.

What with his other jobs plus lucrative speaking deals surely this makes fools of us all who voted for him to help run our country for us.

Clearly this Government is out of touch with the reality of the real world that we the voters inhabit.

Most of us are lucky to obtain one job and then not telephone number salaries that he commands.

Our schools and the NHS are needing desperate funding and evaluation from a sympathetic Government but clearly he does portray what that means: their cloud cuckoo land is only for the exclusive few.
