Hunt hits the phones

What’s Jeremy Hunt up to after breaking cover as an agitator against Boris Johnson this week? Mostly phoning people, if his social media is anything to go by. Mr S has been amused to follow the trail of the former (and now wannabe) Conservative leadership contender as he posts endless Instagram photos of himself looking serious on the phone.

There’s a clear favourite pose that he likes to adopt:

Mr S also couldn’t help noticing that Hunt has a framed copy of The Spectator cover that never ran displayed on the bookcase behind him. The cover shows him triumphantly striding through the door of Number 10. Incidentally, a copy also hangs in the mens’ toilets at Old Queen Street, although one can be sure the MP has higher ambitions for himself this time around…

But sometimes he mixes it up:

And he’s able to make calls from a range of locations too:

It’s difficult being an MP on Instagram.
