Former chancellor adds another role to his post-cabinet career, becoming visiting fellow at university in CaliforniaGeorge Osborne has taken on a seventh professional role, and his third at a university, it has been announced. Osborne, the editor of the London Evening Standard, among many other jobs, has been named a visiting fellow at Stanford University in California, the university said in a statement on Wednesday. Tom Gilligan, head of the Hoover Institution, hailed Osborne as “a champion of a vital alliance between the United Kingdom and the United States”. The university did not say how many days Osborne would commit to the roles, or how often he would visit. Osborne did, however, say the roles would be “a unique opportunity for me to connect to Stanford and the west coast”.
