Exactly what qualifies Hunt to be Chancellor?

Every time I see him, I think what a total plank. He was only put in that role by the equally dopey Liz Truss.

Hunt talks complete BS. As underlined by other people are really are qualified in Budget areas.

i swear no person in the UK says to another person this week "be interesting to see what is in the budget this week"

literally a circle jerk for Westminster and the failing print press

Good it's his last year.

all the cabinet are completely unqualified for the roles they hold. Going across decades, there have only ever been a couple of them that are half way qualified. However, they don't need to be, they are basically managing directors of their departments, that doesn't require a deep knowledge of the subject in question

Yes this time next year
it could be Rachel Reeves MP
struggling to find cash

It seems everything's going up these days.
