The Health Secretary joined Andrew Marr this morning for a discussion on the NHS, but it was Hunt’s remarks about business that have caught the headlines. The pan-European aviation company Airbus and car manufacturing giant BMW have said that a no deal Brexit could potentially see them leave the UK, and the organisations have said that they want ‘clarity’ by the end of the summer. Hunt urged people to ignore these ‘siren voices’ and put their faith in the Prime Minister:
Health Secretary @Jeremy_Hunt says it is completely inappropriate for businesses like @Airbus to make warnings about moving jobs because of Brexit #marr pic.twitter.com/9lorFsLfYu

JH: I just thought it was completely inappropriate for businesses to be making these kinds of threats for one very simple reason.
