Miriam Margolyes shared her candid thoughts on new chancellor Jeremy Hunt on live radio this morning.
The actress was reacting to Mr Hunt's appointment on BBC Radio 4's Today programme when she admitted she wished she’d told the chancellor: "F**k you, you b*****d!." It was announced yesterday that Mr Hunt, who has previously held the titles of Foreign Secretary and Health Secretary, would replace Kwasi Kwarteng after he was dramatically sacked by Prime Minister Liz Truss.
Ms Truss removed her ideological ally from his post after just five weeks in the job. The sacking comes after Mr Kwarteng's shock budget announcement last month led to widespread economic chaos.
