Why the Tories risk losing suburban voters, with Jeremy Hunt

Jeremy Hunt tells Anoosh Chakelian how he regrets the "silent killer" of social-care cuts made when he was in the cabinet, calls for the "penny to drop" for the current health secretary Sajid Javid on properly funding social care, and warns of electoral woes for the Tories in their southern English "heartlands". He also admits he wouldn't rule out serving as a minister under Boris Johnson. Hunt's book, Zero: Eliminating Unnecessary Deaths in a Post-Pandemic NHS, is available in bookstores nowPodcast listeners can subscribe to the New Statesman for just £1 a week for 12 weeks using our special offer.
