Can We Be Great Again: Why it’s now or never for Britain

Jeremy Hunt was first appointed Secretary of State for Health in September 2012, then served as Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs from July 2018 to July 2019, and Chancellor of the Exchequer from October 2022 to July 2024. Looking back at his time as this country’s global ambassador, Jeremy asks: is Britain a minor player, marginalized by our departure from the EU and dwarfed by the rise of new economies?

Or is there a major role for us to play in a rapidly changing international order? With the election of President Trump, the answer to that question matters. A world that was already becoming more dangerous has also become more unpredictable. Is the UK really a busted flush, or, is now more than ever a moment to try and defend the huge progress in freedom and democracy we have seen over the last century?
