The Rt Hon Sir Jeremy Hunt MP joins us on Friday 6 June to discuss his new book and the questions it raises.
Britain has been through a difficult period since the global financial crisis, leading many to conclude the country is doomed to inevitable decline. But Jeremy Hunt, who was at the top of government as both Foreign Secretary and Chancellor, disagrees. In his new book, 
Can We Be Great Again?
, he sets out to rebut those who think Britain is no longer capable of shaping the world we live in.
With the election of president Trump, a world that was already becoming more dangerous has also become more unpredictable. But when it comes to the big challenges facing the world – whether on European security, the future of democracy, migration, trade and climate – the UK remains one of the most influential countries and should, Hunt says, use that influence wisely. Hunt does not shy away from the UK’s weaknesses but argues that they should be considered in perspective and without underestimating this country’s many strengths.
After leaving school, Sir Jeremy studied at Oxford University, where he graduated with a first class honours degree in Politics, Philosophy and Economics. 
He was elected Conservative MP for South West Surrey in 2005. He was first appointed Secretary of State for Health in September 2012, and then served as Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs July 2018 - July 2019.
In October 2022, Sir Jeremy was appointed Chancellor of the Exchequer. He served as Shadow Chancellor of the Exchequer from July to November 2024. 
On 4th July 2024, following Parliamentary boundary changes, Sir Jeremy has been elected as the Member of Parliament for the new Godalming and Ash constituency. 
Before his election as an MP, Sir 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.
Sir Jeremy divides his time between Westminster and his constituency home in Surrey with his wife, son and two daughters.
