'Cowardly George Osborne could have faced a rough ride as he was lined up for a TV debate with disabled campaigner Baroness Tanni Grey-Thompson.

But the anticipated showdown never materialised – after she was suddenly axed from the show.

And last night sources on ITV’s The Agenda claimed the former wheelchair racer, who won 11 Paralympic gold medals over five Games, got the chop because the Chancellor was scared she would attack his savage benefit cuts.

An insider said: “He did not want to be hauled over the coals on the Government’s disability changes. So she was dumped from the line-up.” '

Maybe she can give Gideon some hints for the next time he's at a party with a lady from an escort agency

Surely it's better to say to Gideon that History proves attacking the poorest of society provokes them to revolution!

A person that studied History at Oxford and rose to hold the strings of the Country's purse!

[Minniehaha]

He was christened Gideon Oliver Osborne but later adopted the name George as he disliked his real name ... faker.
