The foreign secretary is among those expected to stand to succeed Theresa May as leader of the Conservative Party when she steps down.Mrs May has already promised to go once the first stage of Brexit is over.
Former cabinet minister Esther McVey and International Development Secretary Rory Stewart have already announced that they plan to run.In his speech on Monday, Mr Hunt said the UK currently accounted for almost 20% of total EU defence spending, and British forces contributed a"hugely disproportionate share" of some key capabilities.
He saw a preview of yearsandyears and finally understood that, unless you’re all armed to the teeth and ready to give control of your nuclear weapons to the wise (totally sane) American leader who is Donald Trump, you’re all doomed. mbga 🤡 🇬🇧 💥
So while UK and usa kick off with every tom dk and Harry it's us that has to foot the bill even though these are crimes against humanity. Don't think you can click your fingers and expect loyalties
Abolish religion
You don’t say
SHUT UP. Jeremy_Hunt
What a tosser we need more for health and education if anything we need to spend less on defence.
Wrecked NHS, now war mongering. Cameron said we are peace loving country. Slimy, sleek, grinning liar.
Use the overseas aid budget 10% to defence 90% to the NHS
Why was it cut in the first place ?
We have just spent billions on renewing our nuclear weapons, this is why there is no money for healthcare and child services and anything else that helps every day people. Lets get rid of politicians and save money.
With what? By the time Brexit has broken the economy for ten years or more we'll be a nuclear armed slum.
Probably In The same way he did with the NHS .Carnage and the reason all our junior Doctors have emigrated.well done Mr Hunt.
the man who can't stop screwing up the services of the UK
This nob couldn't organise a piss up in a pub.
Just an underhand Leadership bid!
We need to hang the 0.01% & then maybe do it again.
Please strap him to 1 of his new nukes and send it on its way
He wasn’t saying it earlier!Non contender for leadership-He’s the same politician as May
Just in case someone attacks us for our natural resources?
From the idiot who was a hopeless health secretary.
Hunt another globalist puppet.
Not within a European Defence Force we shouldn’t.
He's planning a war
You should consider resigning or sorting a real BREXIT til then no one is interested in what you say.
The first thing they should do is to stop wasting money on the International Aid Budget. All of that money should be spent on other priorities here in Britain. Other countries should be able to stand on their own two feet without handouts from Britain
This man beggars belief, an absolute clown.
Why? Because the US is itching for another war in the Middle East and the UK needs to tag along like a good lapdog?
What about a boost for the police, NHS to name but 2
Whilst Ireland and Sweden and other EU Countries stay Neutral.. They are not in NATO even.. I see Greta's Prime Minister says Treaty of Lisbon secures their Defence! How about a Referendum on Leaving NATO?
Why? People sleeping rough, food banks, increased child poverty, benefits cut, schools running out of supplies, drastic reduction in police numbers - and this is just this week! And Jeremy_Hunt wants to throw good money after bad at Defence! No leadership in this.
£39 billion Should do it. NO DEAL!
Money could be found by paying close attention to the DFiD budgets.
How about stopping foreign aid, and putting the money back into society. How about not wasting money on bullshit wars and campaigns we have NO RIGHT to be involved with. Don't the gov get enough fucking money from us, now they want more to squander?
There are better ways to spend scarce resources than a defence spending boost. Let's scale down the Foreign and Commonwealth Office to better match our true status in the world and to recognise that we haven't had an Empire for nearly a century. Charity begins at home.
He's paving the way for when he announces what extra £££ the UK has secretly agreed to contribute to the new EU army! Vote brexitparty_uk
Mike Pompeo told him to.
“Man who helped skint the NHS asks the government for more money”.
You sold the NHS off and your party is still doing it. You want private firms to run it, and also the police. Why don't you sell off the defence and get private firms to run it. If people want their country defended they'll pay for it themselves.
Didn't he boost doctors? What about boosting police to previous levels: Parity begins at home
And there would be money available if it wasn’t squandered on Brexit!
How did Hunt say this with his foot in his mouth?
Why's he telling us? If he wants anything done HE has to do it.
Wtf
Former health sec can't think of anything more worthy to invest in? 🙃 NHS
get harry maguire at the back. he will sort u rite out.
Before you make any big decisions you should get permission of our future Prime Minister Nigel Farage!
I believe you could make a case for reducing spending on defence and use this case for NHS and social care. However, Its clear the UK and Europe have relied heavily on USA for protection for decades. So, do we live in a world of lambs or wolves?
This is so hilarious.
Is this a trick headline and spoof article?
Aye Jezz - leadership bid, is it?
More likely to be assaulted or worse on our own shores. More funding for the police.
Should be double what it is.
To plan for a russian invasion that isnt coming, like weve been doing for the last century?
Yeah but this though. 🤣jeremycunt
Jeremy Hunt is often talking shite! He’s a foreign sec, lectures against the country! The country should CancelBrexit first. Then invest the money into social care, new schools, mental health and rebuild the EU business relationship! PeoplesVote
Howsaboutnoooo. Fund services that service the people. Military industrial complex doesn't help anyone but share holders.
Was the last guy who was sacked not called an idiot for asking for more money.
Where's the money coming from? Tax take is down on plan!!
What the UK should have considered was a PROPER spending boost for the NHS when he was Health Secretary, I know a hunt when I see one.
