[after the majority of last month's mini-Budget was reversed.](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2022/10/17/everything-jeremy-hunt-has-thrown-mini-budget/) Instead, Mr Hunt is expected to focus on the Medium-Term Fiscal Plan, scheduled for October 31, where he will unveil a range of "difficult decisions"

We need a general election - now.” But she added: “I recognise... As prime minister for just 45 days, Liz Truss was the briefest serving PM in UK history, and blamed not being able to deliver her vision for a “low tax high growth economy” as the reason for her resignation.

Adam Kay has hit ack Jeremy Hunt after the new Chancellor said he 'couldn't finish' the comedians' bestselling NHS memoirs.

On Twitter Kay noted that that Hunt was mentioned only in the final 250 words of the book adding: ‘If you didn’t finish the book, did you read it . He insisted: ‘I used to do just that pretty much every single week of my time as health secretary, including changing bedpans, washing beds and doing tea rounds in wards. . .

I think they will want to get over this little crisis and reassure the markets. Right now it is not open to the prime minister to call an election. So the best thing is to have another prime minister who would take the party to the election deadline as it were. Maybe Rishi will come back as the chancellor and that is quite possible because they are friends but I think what will happen is that Jeremy Hunt would most probably become the new prime minister. The opposition can propose it and then if the government agrees that could be changed but right now the Conservative Party does not want an election.

Andrew Marr, made the same mistake the same day when introducing a discussion about Naughtie’s slip - the Hunt gaffe was fast becoming a self-sustaining mistake. It’s happened surprisingly regularly, though not for a while as Hunt has spent most of the last few years on the backbenches.
