Mrs. McVey is a former secretary of labor and pensions who has been a vocal brexiteer and has influence among blue-collar conservatives.
Despite Mr Hunt’s insistence that he has won many elections in the north of England, he lost his seat in Wirral West in 2015, before being moved to Tatton’s safe headquarters in Cheshire, which has never voted Labor in its 40 years. history.
Ms McVey told GB News, where she also presents a program, that she agreed to support Mr Hunt after he accepted five key principles and admitted he hoped many people would be shocked by the news.
He said Mr Hunt had accepted tax cuts, ordering the Northern Ireland Protocol, raising the leveling in the north, lowering immigration and no more general blockades.
She said: “Boris Johnson contacted me for the blue collar conservative agenda and he complied, I think Jeremy will too.
“If Boris Johnson had followed these five key principles, I don’t think we would be in the situation we are in now.”
“No ideological soul mates”
Ms. McVey said that while she and Mr. Hunt “are not ideological partners,” her colleagues must support her as a leader.
