I reckon he's got to be worth his own thread now, hasn't he?
Watching him now, and I have to say, he is incredibly composed and assured. Which, if nothing else, is a welcome change.

He's got one, but yours has more exclamation marks!!

I think there's an easy confidence common to politicians of a background similar to his, borne I suspect of never having been unduly impacted by life's vicissitudes.
I always think the same thing about Hunt- he trades so much on his "entrepreneurial background", which really means a bunch of failed businesses which he abandoned and moved on from, and Hotcourses. Now, Hotcourses wasn't a terrible idea, but it also wasn't much of a business success- it provided something useful but nonessential that individuals and institutions were perfectly capable of doing themselves, so it found it hard to achieve market penetration. A fairly oldfashioned directory company, in the information age.
But, no problem if you can use your network to convince NGOs- mostly the British Council- to adopt it and build use of it into a few of their interactions. Within a couple of years, pretty much every sizable UK and every worldwide university that recruits from the UK and every government institution that sends students to the UK, was a Hotcourses customer. It's not doing anything more valuable or essential in itself, but some users are doing directoty things with it that makes it worthwhile for other users to also use it.
And then, once everyone reluctantly signed up for it, they started to bloat it and add features that were mostly unasked for, so that it was more expensive but still judged to be a price worth paying. We paid for the most basic service, but it still came with a crapload of things that we just didn't want and it now cost way more than it did when we first adopted it.
And then they did some tax fraud, and then sold it.
He's never faced the cost of failure- if I set up the business I'm thinking of, and it crashes, I'll be screwed. He just bounced on using the friends network and mostly other people's money. When he got busted for expenses "errors" which mysteriously were always in his failure, he paid half back. As health secretary he ran his entire policy based on blatant lies about the "24 hour nhs" and junior doctors and rather than facing consequences, was championed.
So yeah he's confident. Of course he is. You'd be competent too, if you could steal and keep half the money when you get caught, fail in business while taking a good livelihood and then move on to the next...
I’m impressed that he can’t stand there spouting about the compassionate tories whilst keeping a straight face. Do you think he actually believes that shit or is he just well trained and accustomed in the art of lying.
He has the look of a serial killer too 😀
Do you think he actually believes that shit
He's just a beige talking head. I don't think we can expect anything.
EDIT: I was going to expand, but then I realised my one scentence summed him up succinctly enough.
Pointless ****.... down to two words.
he is incredibly composed and assured
A sure sign he doesn't understand the situation.

So it wasn't just me who thought his eyes looked a bit scary today ? Interesting. I had not noticed that before.

He always looks like he is trying to work out how he is going to disembowel the person who is positioned opposite him.
