To think Jeremy Hunt as Chancellor is good

I mean how bad has it got that Jeremy appears rational, decent and competent. I never imagined in all my years that I'd be pleased he had been given an important job, but now he seems acceptable.
How has the situation in politics become so dire that JH seems like a good choice?

Jeremy hunt the?

MissyB1 · 14/10/2022 14:21

Ahem I still remember what he did to the NHS. None of their staff will be welcoming the idea I suspect…

VampiresWife · 14/10/2022 14:21

Yeahhhh, nope.

balalake · 14/10/2022 14:21

Better or less bad than some of the Tory choices, someone whose policies you will disagree with, not his competence.

ChampagneCommunist · 14/10/2022 14:24

Could have been worse; could have been Nadine Dorries

No - Truss is still saying she and the sacked Chancellor share the same vision!
We need a General Election! Get rid of the Tories - it's diabolical being subjected to this Tory chaos and deceit.

TabithaTittlemouse · 14/10/2022 14:25

After everything that he did for the NHS I’m sure it’s a really good decision…. Oh.

Jesus wept.

To quote HM the King.

Dear, Oh Dear.

🤦‍♀️

JH butchered the NHS, surely you can't think it is a good idea to let him lose with UK budgets? I agree Crazy Quarteng has to go but not replaced by JH.

CapMarvel · 14/10/2022 14:27

Just out of interest, does Jeremy Cun..., sorry, Hunt have any economics background at all?

MoreHairyThanScary · 14/10/2022 14:27

Nope here he is a massive *unt. Wouldn't trust him as far as I could throw him, wonder how far down her list she had to get before she found someone willing to take on the shit show!

C U next Tuesday…..

AdoraBell · 14/10/2022 14:28

DH was wondering if Liz Truss would bring Boris back as Chancellor.

Neolara · 14/10/2022 14:28

Does he have any relevant experience in regards to the economy?

StoneofDestiny · 14/10/2022 14:28

Have we forgotten already?

ArseInTheCoOpWindow · 14/10/2022 14:29

Hadn’t he got a degree in economics?

the80sweregreat · 14/10/2022 14:29

Another stooge.

Home Economics probably, perhaps he will whip up a Victoria Sponge to distract us all.

Another Oxford PPE ... no serious economics jobs I can see ... so no, not really.

Neolara · 14/10/2022 14:32

Neolara · 14/10/2022 14:28

Just googled. He did PPE a long time ago. No other obvious links to working with money. Bugger. We may be dooooooooomed.

LexMitior · 14/10/2022 14:33

Too late. The markets are bigger than the government. I'd say if they are very lucky then interest rates on mortgage will start to dip down. If they don't in the next six months the Tories are finished

TheHouseonHauntedHill · 14/10/2022 14:34

Has he got any ecconmy experience?.

FourTeaFallOut · 14/10/2022 14:35

Great 🙄 The man who does his best work retrospectively. Honestly.

Peterbear · 14/10/2022 14:35

Ffs my daughter's done 6 weeks of a level economics and could do a better job than that c*nt. I despair I really do.

HailHail · 14/10/2022 14:36

Yeah he's proper salt o' the earth is Jeremy . No he's not actually ,he is a self serving , cowardly ,devious nasty c*nt.
