Sir Jeremy Hunt MP retweeted
🧵Today the UK @HouseofCommons held an important debate on #HumanRights in #Myanmar/#Burma, introduced by the former Foreign Secretary @Jeremy_Hunt, who spoke powerfully about the need for the UK to show leadership at the @UN as the penholder on Myanmar, to introduce new sanctions on the military and its enterprises, and to pursue accountability and justice for atrocity crimes.
"Britain does not have to stand on the sidelines. Britain must not stand on the sidelines. And I hope when we hear from the Minister, he will tell us that Britain will not stand on the sidelines."

Unlike our approach in London 2012, Trump is using the World Cup to shore up his base rather than showcase the best of his country to the world. More’s the shame. @BBCNewsnight
Jun 9
"This is another way in which Trump is tearing up the rules... Most countries say these big events are moment to show the world at its best"
Sir Jeremy Hunt, Conservative MP, says the controversies ahead of the World Cup are "another example" of America "retreating" from the world

On @BBCNewsnight last night sparring with @zeteo_news founder @mehdirhasan. To achieve economic growth we must make the UK an attractive place for entrepreneurs and the wealthy... AND get a grip on welfare spending.

“There is an argument that says we are not a rich country anymore, we are a poor country with lots of rich people in it”
“But it isn’t true, is it?”

1/13 The urgent need to reform welfare has risen up the political agenda. A short thread on why it matters as much for economic growth as for easing pressure on public finances, a big theme in my new book Can We Be Rich Agaiin?

12/13 Such reforms would lead to healthier public finances and faster growth. Reducing the working-age bill to pre-pandemic levels would save around £58 billion a year. Replacing the triple lock with an inflation guarantee would save around £5 billion. It would be more than enough to increase defence to 3% of GDP.

13/13 Most importantly it would remove the need for further tax rises and even allow the damaging hike in employers national insurance to be reversed. In other words we would start on the path to lower tax, less debt – and higher growth. Read more over on my Substack. thoughtsfromjeremyhunt.subst…
