Former Chancellor George Osborne ‘goes Rambo’ with machine gun in Vietnam

George Osborne has reportedly been spotted in a Vietnam jungle firing a machine gun.

Mr Osborne was sacked from the Cabinet by Theresa May when she took office in July having served as Chancellor since 2010.

But a video posted by The Daily Mirror appears to show the MP for Tatton enjoying his summer holiday as he fires a heavy machine gun in Vietnam.

The former chancellor reportedly visited the former stronghold of the Viet Cong close to Ho Chi Minh City.

The footage has prompted some to liken the former chancellor to Sylvester Stallone’s Rambo character.

One person quoted by the newspaper suggested the weapon was “one of those really, really big machine guns – the Rambo-style one”.

Mr Osborne’s choice of getaway differs greatly from that of the new Prime Minister who is spending two weeks walking in Switzerland.

Meanwhile, his former cabinet colleague Michael Gove has made the headlines during the break from Parliament by growing a beard.
