Jeremy Hunt to step down as shadow chancellor with end of Tory leadership race in sight......
Jeremy Hunt has confirmed he is stepping down from the Conservative frontbench, calling for his party to be “humble” following July’s election defeat.
The decision comes just hours before the Tory leadership race comes to an end, with polls closing at 5pm on Thursday.
On Saturday morning, either Robert Jenrick or Kemi Badenoch will be crowned the new party leader.......

Yep, he's had his time. I couldn't see him working under the new leader. Not really a surprise. I think he actually did a reasonably stabilising job to rescue after Disaster Kwarteng.

Jenrick has had the balls to nail his colours to the mast in regards to what he would do, Badenoch has not. Is Badenoch a secret lefty, only to reveal hewr true colours after she is elected.? If the cons stay as Labour 2, it leaves the road empty for Farage and Reform.
