Alice Campbell. And with me, Rory Stewart. And today, a real treat for us, at least as far as I'm concerned, we've got Jeremy Hunt. Now, Jeremy Hunt is very, very unusual in being probably the most senior remaining Conservative Member of Parliament. He was the Chancellor of the Exchequer, he was the

Foreign Secretary, he was the Health Secretary, he was the Cultural Media and Sports Secretary under

David Cameron, Theresa May, Liss Trust and Rishi Sunak. So he served under four different

prime ministers in government. He ran for the leadership. I declare an interest here.

I supported Jeremy when he ran for leadership against Boris Johnson. Before he entered politics,

which is now 20 years ago, he was a businessman. Serial entrepreneur makes jokes about himself

failing to sell marmalade in Japan, I think.

Maybe actually, you can tell us a little bit about that. But ultimately, built and sold a very

successful company and has remained when almost all the rest of us have dropped away,

which is another thing to investigate when it comes to Jeremy. So many things to talk about. Thank you for

joining us today. We tend to start, Jeremy, with the very start. So you came from a military background.

Your dad was very high up in the Navy. And I just wonder whether that was ever a route that

tempted you. I think if there'd been a war, I would have definitely

joined the Royal Navy because I would have taken the view. That's where the action is. And by the

way, thank you for saying it's a treat, Rory. I'm a bit worried there may not be a treat for

Alistair because of what I'm about to say, what I'm about to say, which is that when I was at

university in the 1980s, Margaret Thatcher was at her heyday, and I was a card-carrying Thatcherate.
