British Chancellor of the Exchequer Jeremy Hunt forgot to buy a birthday present for his wife Lucia. “I feel incredibly guilty,” he told broadcaster LBC on Thursday. On Lucia’s birthday he presented his budget plans in parliament.
These stipulate, among other things, that social security contributions will be significantly reduced. On the same day, Wednesday, Lucia Guo turned 45 years old. ‘I’m afraid I haven’t bought anything for my wife. I didn’t even give her a congratulatory card,” the 57-year-old said.
Woman followed speech
At the same time, however, he said he would have honored her birthday in front of millions of people. “I’ve never done that before.” Right at the start of his hour-long speech, the conservative politician mentioned the birthday of his wife, who watched the meeting from the stands with their two daughters and a son.
The couple has been married since 2009. Hunt caused uproar and ridicule when, as foreign minister, he accidentally said his wife was Japanese during a visit to China in 2018. He noticed the mistake and corrected himself.
