He has described Godalming and Ash in Surrey as being "on a knife edge" after the Liberal Democrats made it a key target in their campaign to smash the southern ‘Blue Wall’.
Our Senior Politics Correspondent Paul McNamara went there to find out whether he can keep a hold of his true-blue seat.

Remember he was health secretary for 6yrs and fucked it up
Deliberately, as a Tory policy.
No, he didn't. Anti tory here.
I do remember
@@bob1234881yes he did
He negotiated the disastrous junior doctor arrangements that has led to this mess
REMEMBER THE 4th JULY IS VOTE THE TORIES OUT DAY.
So you can bend over to Khan and his Labour?
Save our children from their control. Please place a true cross for Reform UK. X
@@Nora......... No - Definitely Not - I'm voting for the party that best reflects the Christian values I was raised with, rather than one that is the anti- of those values
@@marktrotter8971 Christianity killed over 100 million people through the ages, those the values you 'value'?
Theft of native lands, physical and cultural genocide, wealth theft, resource theft, systematic support of feudal lords and absolute monarchs in opposition to ordinary people (who found themselves systematically repressed).
@@marktrotter8971 They are not anti-Christian? You are mistaken.
That closeup of the potholes was incredible 😂😂
Are you saying channel 4 news has a Agenda 😂😂😂😂😂😂
“I still haven’t decided” is a polite way of saying “I’m not voting Tory”
People just want them gone
It’s also the polite way to say I’m not voting Labour
@@jamessmithson-br7rm that makes no sense whatsoever.
@@jamessmithson-br7rm it works for any party, but Jeremy Hunt is a Tory. Please look at the context here
Save our children from their control. Labour are not 'old school' Labour. Please place a true cross for Reform UK. X
@@Nora......... So what are Reform?
Absolute Hunt of a man. Architect of the managed decline of the NHS.
inc. failing pandemic preps didn't make sure stocked with good PPE etc
that started with corporate PFI contracts.
His tenents will be worried ifh loses his seat, h
Hit the wrong button, if he loses his seat he will be increasing his rents to make up-the shortfall.
@@marksavage1108hunt worked for black rock.
Architects of modern PFI.
Potholes everywhere
Yeah I saw that 😂
Local authorities have had their funding cut 15 years in a row, fixing roads is low on the list for near bankrupt councils.
And you think labour will find a magic money tree to fix all the potholes?
@@Withnail1969 oh stop it “doom munger” we will see quite soon so you can update us,
Don’t expect them to turn up on Friday though bit too soon.
@@Withnail1969I know the tories won’t fix them maybe Labour will?
How to keep the job: raise taxes and improve public services, or lower taxes and lower cost of living. This man managed to raise taxes, worsen public services, and raise cost of living.
well said, the government's had privatised everything and they are saying they can do miracles, they are the one's that created job loses.
Hunt has put 132k into his campaign - smacks of desparation
shows how much he can make by being an MP doesnt it?
@@jeremydunn932probably calling it a charitable donation to help the poor and needy.
@@kanedNunableHe's not earned that kind of money being an MP.
@TrickyTree84 they get 100k a year 😂
@@gavfrost9763 yes and when you pay 42% tax on that salary, plus you have to actually live, how long do you think it takes to save that up. He will have a wealth of other incomes.
Spelt it wrong. His last name begins with a "C"
Thought the same😅
So Jeremy Chunt?
Its actual Chunt, but the "h" is silent.
@@perolagrande see you next Tuesday 🤣🤣
@@alfonsohorcajada4399 he's a see you next Tuesday 😃😃
Hunt by name complete and utter Hunt by nature
@MrRodigan See you next Tuesday...!
😂😂😂😂
Vote all of them out
@@Nora......... No. Nobody was racist, xenophobic facist nutters anywhere near power. Which is what Reform is. It is a limited company, that is designed to put money in Farage's Coutts account. No sane human being would vote for those nutters. But then, you are not sane are you, Nora?
Hunt has been canvassing and yet he thinks he might lose. I mean he deserves to lose, as do the rest. I'd love to see the Tories get less than 50 seats....then into oblivion...good riddance to the most selfish party ever..
The so-called Chancellor any without qualifications.
Only to then welcome the most selfish party ever. More of the same to come.
@@SamyTheSheep it literally cannot get any worse with labour than with a continuation with the same from tories.
Lets suppose Britain wants to join the usa to defend taiwan against china (just like puppet britain joined the iraq war and threw money at ukraine ) Pretty sure there would be riots and people wont take no for an answer.
The NHS is a joke. The education system forced you to not skip a year, limiting potential, HSR literally doesnt exist (top speed 125 when most trains top at 100/110mph, is not high speed).
Do you really think tories winning again will be different the fourth time?
Do you really think reform will do anything, nigel is a prideful clown who likes the attention he cannot run a country. Lib dem have never taken power, and they didt deliver the one thing they promised (no student fees)
In the end you cant trust the government, but as bad as blair was he atleast didnt throw the country into oblivion.
It won't make any difference. Give it a year and you'll see that labour are just as useless.
If he has been imposing himself on peoples doorsteps he is definitely going to lose. Would you but a used car from this man?
Everything Hunt has touched has turned to dust. The quicker he is removed the better.
2:55 “You’d think this has got to be a Conservative seat, but the reality is that it’s an area with very smart voters.”:😂😂😂
He's saying the quiet part out loud 🤣
Conservatives think ordinary people are dimwitted idiots. Then appeal to said demographic.
I almost spat my tea out when he said that
I think he said "This is a very a very middle-class area, so it has a lot of well educated voters", or words to that effect. Whatever he actually said, he, like his fellow morons, can't avoid Freudian slips, because they don't have the mental capacity to do otherwise.
Vote Hunt out he deserves it
Don't worry he'll be just fine with over £12 million in his bank account.
there is no hope when you are not fighting for it
Yes. 12 million OF TAXPAYERS MONEY.
You know it's bad when you saw pot holes even in their usual Tory area.
health secretary for 6yrs and managed absolutely nothing, ignorant with the typical tory complaint, the smell of money takes their minds off the job they are supposed to be doing.
‘Well you’d look around here and think ‘this has gotta be a conservative seat’’ - says it all about his mindset. ‘It’s nice here, it’s wealthy, they must vote tory’
His wife escapes the Income Tax . The money is supposed to help the poor and the Homeless citizens.
dont threaten me with a good time
Middle class = smart voters. Us working class are just dumb voters then eh Jeremy?
@@jeremydunn932 'Normal' voters shun them all. Please consider Reform UK.
Yeah it was poor phrasing
If you’re desperate to find offence you could take it that way
@@hemmers86 well that’s kind of a necessary implication from what he’s saying
Well the working class were overwhelming fooled by the tories and ukkip to vote for Brexit.
So yes working class are thick especially from the perspective of people like me hunt
Bye hunt
Tick Tock C@@T 😂
Exit stage left Mr Hunt!
Wouldn't that be wonderful? Vile man.
Croquet is just like running a drug gang. Running a drug gang is just like being in Parliament. Being in Parliament is just like being in a drug gang that likes snorting cocaine.
Bye, Bye, Jeremy C-hunt
LOL
Potholes in the Chancellor's constituency?
Vote out to help out!
When you knock on the door and the person says "I haven't made my mind up" they're being polite.
He is definately a 'Jeremy Hunt'
He should make a bet lol
If in doubt, vote Hunt out! 🤭🤭🤭🤭
Oh,l do hope so.Cant wait for Friday morning to find out how many tories lose their seats.
I will be celebrating with a pint
Hunt is very much favourite to lose his seat ….
I just spent 2 days visiting Nofolk. Driving around I saw 100s of vote green posters. Not a single vote Tory one in super Tory seats. Literally every field had one. Never seen anything lke this.
My area has only ever had a Tory ever since it was created in the 40s. I've only seen Labour posters in people's houses
@@lonyo5377 'Old school Labour' no longer exists. What are Labour supporters voting for?
@@Nora......... To get the Tories out and they don't believe dodgy Farage.
@@Nora......... not Tory
Lot of Reform fans there.
This 4th of July is going to be celebrated in both the US and UK
Make Hunts seat a Reform seat. You know that's the right way.
No chance in Godalming hahaha
I never believed a Chancellor of Great Britain could be such a liar and so incompetent !
I’ll be voting labour in my area,
But that Lib Dem guy seemed like a really nice chap!
Please please get rid of him!! 🙏
I had a £50 treble that sunak hunt and shapps will all lose their seats ✅️
Remember to tactically vote to help bring down the Tories.
If there’s any karmic justice in this world then absolutely! Bear in mind folks, a large part of why healthcare and social care has been decimated along with stagnant wages for healthcare professionals (whilst MPs get a raise) and student nurses lost their bursary is due to none other than Jeremy Twunt! This man earns millions from his various businesses and also tried to fiddle his taxes!
Never worked harder 😂😂
Even the well off in my area are not voting tory.
Perhaps it’s because those voters have been hit in their pockets too. It’s usually the poor who are hit the hardest but things have changed dramatically in recent times and even the middle classes have seen their wealth diminish under the tories.
@florenceflorence58 yes true.
I somehow get a warm comforting feeling looking back at how lil angerland was in the 1950s, the old dusty teachers in a foreboding stone built school, their old ideologies of empire. pink maps and woe betide those who have any ideas above their station.Somehow I knew that its demise would be Titianical even at the age of 10. Thank god for the Spanish immigration police and my final escape, and yes I do remember the days here in Spain when Generalissimo Franco was still in charge , at least now I have the right to vote in the local elections. Love from the EU and Gran Canaria.
It's a sad indictment of the Conservative party that Jeremy Hunt is now one of the more competent ministers.
Truss made Hunt look good.
THE TORY CLOWN SHOW CONTINUES....😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Remember he conveniently for forgot about the flats he rents out.
It's an easy thing to do, I regularly forget I own 7 luxury flats with a rental value of between 3 and 4k per month, oh wait I don't I just pay rent.
Oh icing on the cake 🤗🤗
We can only hope!!!
"Is it because these voters may have just had enough of the conservatives"? He answers that while avoiding stepping into a pothole. That sums it up really!
No vote for the Conservative.
Okay, this news story is a work of art
Get him out and get the rest of the Tories out. Karma.
It seems Mr Hunt is haunted by time of consequences
Middle class area? F me im not even working class then im a mere peasant 🤣🤣
You could use the term crack pots in the fading blue wall
Wonderful
We can only hope
zero seats everybody, zero seats.
Just no more please.
What a stinking shame we don't have PR as an electoral system here in the UK like across the channel in France. 🇬🇧🇫🇷
Love how they just admit they’ll lose at this point 😂😂
The only party not offering more of the same is Reform
Has everyone had their postal vote paperwork? Why is no one talking about this?
Don’t let the door hit you on the way out!
James Walsh is a labour Councillor in neighbouring Guildford, no idea why he is standing in Godalming. More interestingly the local greens decided not to stand a candidate to help the tactical vote for Lib Dems but one has been parachuted in to fill up the ballot paper.
Greens cycle people in, they don't fly.
Only hope for the Uk is Reform..
Out of government and straight into prison for him
Hope Cruella, Mogg, Gullis, Sunak and all the rest join him.
7:16 Harry Hill called, he wants his shirt back. You can tell by the calibre of Labour candidate, they didn't chuck their finest at the opening lol.
Cracks? The wall is coming down Lol
Hes lost his mind ' why not the seat 😄
He has already lost his seat.
Aaaahhh that bit at the beginning trying to shoehorn the analogy about election chances and tactical voting onto croquet was so cringe-inducing
Hunt rhymes with...
The multi-millionaire landlord chancellor. Voice of the people indeed.
All these walls they keep telling us about.... there's not much point in having one if you can just walk round it.
let me correct something "I have never worked hard."
Oof, that opening metaphor was a bit of a stretch
Graham Drage sounds like Rory Stuarts.
Good.
Waiting for all the reform bots to cry about ch4 exposing their racist party
The name of the party should be
"Im not racist but.....party" 😂
The guy was an actor. Please keep up.
The "I worked with a black fella once" party 😂
@@uploadingcontentwho are you trying to kid 😂 You either ARE one or you've NEVER met one! My uncle and his mates are Reform, they love Führage and all they can talk about is how much they hate Pa*is and how they want to machine gun the occupants of the "small boats" as they struggle ashore near Dover.. you mug 😂
Have you consdered the fact that people are not racist, but are very tired of the Governments giving away unnecessary money when it is so badly needed by British people. Not everyone is lucky enough to live in an idyllic country setting. Millions are struggling in the wider world, outside the bubble of places like Surrey.
@@elainepettis5075 no, because people find it so much easier to ignore all the facts and blame immigrants, rather than the GIVING AWAY OF UNNECESSARY MONEY TO BAIL OUT tax-dodging non-dom billionaire mates of Führage, Johnson, Sunak etc.
The real crooks arrived on these shores in luxury yachts and private jets - not in small leaky boats. But folks like you are so hate filled you'd prefer to just blame brown folks.. So yes - to bare-faced ignore the glaringly obvious in favour of your favourite white supremacist trope - that's racist!
They will 'help' them by certifying them fit to work and cutting off their benefits.
Let's hope so eh
The lady was correct when she said chosing between Labour and Tory is like chosing which carrot to eat from a pile of vomit.
Time for change 🎉
Love the headline. Cracks?! More like a Grand Canyon! Channel 4 really doing the conservative justice this election.
Thoughts and prayers
What do you mean why ?
Fingers crossed 🤞
Hope So
Get rid of him.
Everything is worse than 2010
May standing down prop 😂
24 hours left as an MP, Isaac!
Oh good.
Hope Hunt loses his seat. He is not a nice man.
