George Osborne, the former Conservative Chancellor of the Exchequer (main money guy), isn't a super popular fella. Over a six-year period, he introduced huge public spending cuts, and many hold him responsible for the ongoing struggles our National Health Service (NHS) faces today. One report has even linked his austerity measures to 330,000 excess deaths, and that's not counting those lost during the Covid pandemic.
