Chancellor George Osborne seems to have gone for a very austere haircut (we're all in it together?) Quite a contrast to the mop of his Bullingdon Club days.

And while Osborne elected to give his speech on the top floor of a building site, the development isn't exactly affordable housing.

The cheapest flat at One Commercial Street will set you back £750,000. Poor Osborne is still struggling to cultivate the man of the people persona he so desperately desires.
