FORMER Tory chancellor George Osborne is due to marry his fiancé tomorrow – but the celebrations have been overshadowed somewhat by a mysterious email sent to his guests.
Osborne, 52, is set to wed Thea Rogers, 40, at a ceremony at St Mary’s Church in Somerset.
It’s expected that high-profile guests will include the likes of former prime minister David Cameron, Levelling Up Secretary Michael Gove (below), and senior figures from the British media.
Much talk around the wedding is now focused on an email sent to a large number of invited guests, plus journalists, on Thursday.
On social media, curious users are digging into who could be responsible for the lengthy 2500-word message ...
Osborne and Rogers were engaged in 2021, with the austerity lover saying he’d “probably never been happier” in his life.
They have two children together – Beau, who was born in 2021, and Arthur, born in December.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
