Sunday shows round-up: Jeremy Hunt – Airbus’s Brexit threat was ‘completely inappropriate’

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:

AM: When you picked up the paper and you saw that Airbus was talking about leaving this country… what did you think?

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