Sir John Major: Why I am backing Jeremy Hunt

“I cannot vote for someone who was part of the Brexit campaign that misled the country,” he told BBC Hardtalk’s Stephen Sackur.

Before people cast their votes both candidates need to appear before the media and answer difficult questions, explaining what they would do and how they would do it, Sir John said.
