DAN HODGES: Voters are star-struck by Jeremy Hunt... but even that may not save him as he admits this is the 'toughest' campaign he's fought
Daily MailJeremy Hunt is trying hard. I'm in the newly created marginal constituency of Godalming and Ash, where Hunt is fighting for his political life and trying to avoid being July 4's 'Were You Still Up For…' moment, a repeat of Michael Portillo's infamous 1997 election defenestration. Jeremy Hunt pictured with a constituent on the campaign trail in Godalming, Surrey, on Wednesday Daily Mail political columnist Dan Hodges joined Jeremy Hunt on his campaign trail on Wednesday 'I'm not happy with Rishi,' Mike says sternly. Dan Hodges says that Jeremy Hunt's 'national profile makes him a local celebrity, and people are excited – even star-struck – to meet him' When I ask about the issue, Hunt tells me he's very supportive of the residents, but backs his Government's policy of promoting oil and gas. Which is music to the ears of his main challenger, local Lib Dem council leader Paul Follows, who also senses Hunt's national profile hurts him.
