Jeremy Hunt: Britain needs its own Elon Musk

The former Chancellor of the Exchequer under both Liz Truss and Richie Shunak told a UK radio station today that business people are more necessary than ever in politics

Newsroom January 3 10:30

Perhaps Elon Musk has opened a “feud” with the Prime Minister of Great Britain – Kir Starmers- he may openly support – especially financially – the UKIP of Neighbour Nigel Farage and in the last two months he has also become involved in German politics by supporting the AfD, but for former British Chancellor of the Exchequer Jeremy Hunt, it is such a man that the country needs today to move forward…

Jeremy Hunt who has served Conservative Governments of the last 14 years twice as Chancellor of the Exchequer, once briefly under Liz Truss and the second under Ricey Sunak found himself behind the microphone as a “presenter-guest” on the popular LBC radio station shows. Jeremy Hunt in a communication with the public made it clear that Elon Musk – but in his British version – is what is missing for Britain to recover. In particular, the former “tsar” of the British economy argued that entrepreneurs and their perspective are more necessary today than ever before as only they know how to increase the efficiency of services and drastically reduce bureaucracy. Jeremy Hunt stressed that there are entrepreneurs who run much larger organisations than the British Health Service (NHS) daily and their expertise can deliver much more today and at a much lower cost to the taxpayer. The listener to whom Mr Hunt was addressing had his objections and with a British twang he said: “It is well known that billionaires work for the public good and it is also well known that they would do what you propose for free…”.

On the hour-long show, Jeremy Hunt defended his and the Shunak Government’s handling of the deal which included a plethora of tax rises and indefinite “freezes” on wages and benefits saying the British economy could not cope with the openings being attempted by the Labour and Kir Starmers’ Government.
