FOREIGN Secretary Jeremy Hunt did not win the battle to become the next Conservative Party leader.
Hunt has said that “Brexit is about more than slogans, belief and positive thinking. You can’t leave the EU on a wing and a prayer”.
Who is Jeremy Hunt?
The son of a Royal Navy officer, Jeremy Hunt was born on November 1, 1966.
Jeremy Richard Streynsham Hunt studied PPE – Philosophy, Politics and Economics – at Magdalen College, Oxford where he was the President of the Oxford University Conservative Association.
Hunt founded the company known as Hotcourses in the 1990s along with his childhood friend Mike Elms.
He stood down as a company director in 2009 but still retained 48 per cent of the shares which netted him more than £14million when the company was sold in January 2017.
He first became an MP in 2005, representing South West Surrey and later had a spell in the Shadow Cabinet, initially for disabled people and later as the Shadow Culture Secretary.
Under David Cameron’s administration he served as the Culture Secretary and the Minister for the Olympics from 2010 to 2012.
Hunt was promoted to Health Secretary in 2012, a position he held until 2018, making him the person to have held the job the longest in British political history.
After Johnson resigned as Foreign Secretary over the Chequers Agreement, Hunt was given the post by the Prime Minister Theresa May.
He met his wife, Lucia Guo, in 2008 and the couple married in July the following year. They have a son and two daughters – Eleanor, Anna and Jack.
What’s the Foreign Secretary’s net worth?
The former management consultant is one of the richest members of the Cabinet.
His net worth was estimated to be around £14million, following the sale of his firm Hotcourses in 2017.
The firm releases information about educational training courses.
Britain’s new Foreign Secretary has said he will use his windfall to “campaign for causes I believe in”, once he leaves politics.
What has he said about a No Deal Brexit?
Hunt faced a Brexit backlash after refusing to commit to taking Britain out of the EU by the end of the year.
Challenged once more about Boris’ do or die pledge to deliver Brexit by October 31, Mr Hunt repeated that it would be wrong to “rip up” a deal by that time if it required a “few more parliamentary days” to complete.
But asked if he would commit to leaving by the end of the year, Mr Hunt ducked the question.
He replied the best way of guaranteeing Britain leaves is to pick a PM who can “actually get us a deal that can get through Parliament.”
He said he felt a “personal responsibility” for delivering Brexit after his high profile campaign to Leave. “I played a part in that campaign. I take personal responsibility now for what is happening to our country, for the drift and the dither and the indecision, and the failure to be sufficiently robust in the negotiations which we’ve seen so far.
“I want to lead us out of this mess.”
What is Jeremy Hunt’s stance on abortion?
The Tory leadership frontrunner sparked controversy when he announced during an interview with Sky that he believed the abortion limit should be halved.
This would be from the current 24 weeks, down to 12.
He said his stance on abortion was a “matter of conscience”.
