Show 159 - Jeremy Hunt

The former Health Secretary turned Chair of the Health and Social Care Committee shares his insights from both sides of the fence. He tells Matt why accountability is best done in the open and how he uses his position to make constructive suggestions - like the importance of getting contact tracing delivered as soon as possible. He also shares some fascinating insights on dealing with the Iranian regime when trying to get Nanazin Zaghari-Ratcliffe released. Oh and what it's like to have your name mispronounced so publicly...
