London, 14/10: Newly appointed UK finance minister Jeremy Hunt is a mild-mannered political survivor who will require all of his considerable experience to calm an economy and government beset by chaos.
Mr Hunt, 55, was health minister under David Cameron, and foreign minister under Theresa May, but found himself on the sidelines after Boris Johnson defeated him to become party leader in 2019.
After another failed leadership attempt this year following Mr Johnson’s demise, Mr Hunt suddenly finds himself thrust into the heart of the economic and political storm.
