About this episode

Jeremy Hunt discusses his book on economic optimism and the potential for growth in the UK.

Prepare yourself for a big fat dose of political optimism.   Jeremy Hunt is asking a big question: can we be rich again?   His latest book seeks to answer this and before he gets into what needs to change, he also believes that there's plenty to be cheerful about.   How can the government quickly deliver growth?   What makes the UK uniquely placed to benefit from AI?   What's his personal best London Marathon time?   All this and more in a refreshingly positive take on politics.       DONATE to Sarcoma UK https://www.justgiving.com/page/jeremy-remembers-charlie     BUY Jeremy's book: https://www.politicos.co.uk/products/can-we-be-rich-again-the-extraordinary-potential-of-the-british-economy-by-jeremy-hunt-coming-5-june   THE POLITICAL PARTY LIVE   9 November: Liz Kendall   Plus many more to be announced soon!   https://nimaxtheatres.com/shows/the-political-party-with-matt-forde/   SEE the final dates of Matt's stand-up tour 'Defying Calamity' across the UK: https://www.mattforde.com/live-shows     June 9 Liverpool Everyman Theatre 10 Chipping Norton Theatre   12 Norwich Playhouse…
