Will Chancellor be on the Hunt for a new job?

Chancellor Jeremy hunt was all smiles as he took time off from raising the country’s taxes to press the flesh in support of a council by-election candidate in his constituency backyard last week.

But only days after a beaming hunt had knocked on doors for Ian Mitchell, the latter was suspended by South West Surrey conservative association after an offensive Facebook post featuring a photograph of a golliwog doll came to light.

It also emerged that the school coach driver once branded hunt a ‘fence-sitter’ on the eU and had dubbed Prime Minister rishi Sunak a ‘tax-dodging billionaire’.

In the wake of the ensuing political fallout, the lib Dems on Thursday captured the chiddingfold and Dunsford ward on Waverley Borough council — where the Tories once boasted 83 per cent of the vote — with an impressive 27 per cent swing.

and there could be more trouble in store for hunt, as his constituency is being split into two following boundary changes next summer, making it highly likely he could be the first serving chancellor to lose his commons seat in the past 70 years.
