The differing versions of Osborne as a Politician & Chancellor get more extreme by the day.
Not so long ago he was branded the brainchild behind the economic recovery, and a shrewd operator who was nailed on to be the next Prime Minister.

Then there's people like Hamm that think he messed the economy up.
I defy anyone to tell me that if they were chancellor they would have increased borrowing and spending in the height of a recession after 2008?

To fair to him, he's left Philip Hammond with something to develop and work with, which he himself (Osborne) couldn't claim to be the case in 2010 when taking over from whoever Gordon Brown had in charge of No.11.
