    1 ANDREW MARR SHOW, JEREMY HUNT, MP ANDREW MARR SHOW, 30TH JUNE, 2019 JEREMY HUNT, MP Foreign Secretary AM: Now the truth of the matter is, you know, you’re making a bit of progress but you’re still far, far behind Boris Johnson, and that’s partly down to your own use of language. Do you regret calling him a coward? JH: Well what I said is, “don’t be a coward,” because I think it’s a great shame. This is actually the last of your shows before many Conservative Party members will vote, because they’ll be getting their ballot papers in the next few days and he hasn’t been on here, he hasn’t been prepared to do head to head debates with me before people vote and I think people want a contest; I think that’s respectful to members and I think it will be much better for whoever’s Prime Minister to have that had contest first. So I think what we need is a bit of mojo from Bo-Jo. AM: Now you have also said he must be straight with people. Being straight is our motto here today. JH: I’m always straight on your show, Andrew. AM: Of course you are. In that spirit I want to ask about the Hunt spending splurge, because it seems like an awful lot of money. Corporation Tax, your proposals on Corporation Tax would cost about £13 billion, where would that come from? JH: Well we have about £26 billion of headroom at the moment, and this is a very – AM: I thought you’d say that.

  • Conservative Party Strategy, 1997-2001: Nation and National Identity
    Conservative Party Strategy, 1997-2001: Nation and National Identity A dissertation submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy , Claire Elizabeth Harris Department of Politics, University of Sheffield September 2005 Acknowledgements There are so many people I'd like to thank for helping me through the roller-coaster experience of academic research and thesis submission. Firstly, without funding from the ESRC, this research would not have taken place. I'd like to say thank you to them for placing their faith in my research proposal. I owe a huge debt of gratitude to Andrew Taylor. Without his good humour, sound advice and constant support and encouragement I would not have reached the point of completion. Having a supervisor who is always ready and willing to offer advice or just chat about the progression of the thesis is such a source of support. Thank you too, to Andrew Gamble, whose comments on the final draft proved invaluable. I'd also like to thank Pat Seyd, whose supervision in the first half of the research process ensured I continued to the second half, his advice, experience and support guided me through the challenges of research. I'd like to say thank you to all three of the above who made the change of supervisors as smooth as it could have been. I cannot easily put into words the huge effect Sarah Cooke had on my experience of academic research. From the beginnings of ESRC application to the final frantic submission process, Sarah was always there for me to pester for help and advice.
