Jeremy Hunt – Can We Be Rich Again?
23rd October @ 14:00 – 15:00
Is Britain stuck in a doom loop of higher debt and higher taxes? Or can we fix the British economy?
Jeremy Hunt argues that getting out of Britain’s low growth is a solvable problem, and that we should approach the country’s economic future with optimism. Hunt asks the key questions: How deliverable are the changes we need by a Labour, Conservative or Reform government? How do we get the economy growing despite dangerous levels of debt? How do we sell long term reforms when our leaders have so little political capital? But countering pessimism needs solutions not just assertions, and they need to be realistic – plans that politicians can actually deliver in a democratic system and the majority of the electorate can get behind.
Jeremy Hunt was elected Conservative MP for South West Surrey in 2005. He was first appointed Secretary of State for Health in September 2012, then served as Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs from July 2018 to July 2019, and Chancellor of the Exchequer from October 2022 to July 2024. Before his election as an MP, Jeremy ran his own educational publishing business, Hotcourses. He also set up a charity to help AIDS orphans in Africa in which he continues to play an active role.
