Tuesday, 04 January 2022 7:35 pmIt's been almost a year since the former Chancellor of the Exchequer joined Robey Warshaw to much fanfare but that doesn't seem to have led to much confirmed dealmaking, so far.

Friday, 24 September 2021 10:02 amLoyal readers of Betaville's work on here and at the Mail on Sunday will be aware that I have been attempting to uncover what the former Chancellor of the Exchequer and editor of the Evening Standard has been up to since he joined the uber dealmakers at Robey Warshaw in April this year.

Saturday, 18 September 2021 9:15 amRivals at the The Times have landed a cracking tail about how J Sainsbury has appointed uber dealmakers Robey Warshaw as its new "defence" advisor amid speculation it might soon be on the receiving end of a takeover offer (read Betaville's part 1, 2, 3 and 4 if you need reminding of the bid rumours).

Thursday, 08 April 2021 4:59 pmBetaville spent a bit of time sounding out top political types about the hot potato Robey Warshaw might find itself holding if and when George "the banker" Osborne is activated to pave the way for a foreign client's contentious takeover of a British blue chip corporation.

Friday, 26 February 2021 7:24 pmGeorge Osborne says he is becoming a banker because he wants to do something "a bit more popular". Well, that was what he claims in his column in the excellent The Spectator magazine.

Sir Simon Robey quits Osborne's firm....

Wednesday, 03 February 2021 12:32 pmBritish newspaper hacks devoted plenty of column inches to George Osborne's move to Sir Simon Robey's firm Robey Warshaw this week. But little has been made of the fact that Sir Simon, the City of London's uber dealmaker, quietly resigned as a director of Ian Osborne's firm last September.
