Former Chancellor George Osborne is to become editor of the London Evening Standard newspaper, in a surprise move that has angered Labour MPs. The Tory MP said he was "thrilled" to succeed Sarah Sands, who is leaving to edit the 91福利社's Today programme. Lady Wheatcroft, the former editor of the Sunday Telegraph and editor in chief of the Wall Street Journal Europe, told Mark Mardell it was an "interesting appointment". She said: "I think George Osborne will be very sensible in running the paper." (Photo: George Osborne. Credit: AFP/Getty Images)
