Download Reflections: Series 4: Jeremy Hunt
The former Chancellor reflects with James Naughtie on tough choices and political resurrection.
Jeremy Hunt held four Cabinet jobs - including almost six years as Health Secretary, and then Foreign Secretary under Theresa May. After he was defeated by Boris Johnson in their battle for the Conservative leadership, he thought his ministerial career was over, only to be called back by Liz Truss after her mini-budget.
In this episode of Reflections he discusses all that with James Naughtie, as well as a famous radio moment the two shared.
Producers: Giles Edwards and Joel Massey.
