EXCLUSIVE: MP, JANE HUNT, ATTEMPTS TO CENSOR LOUGHBOROUGH TOURIST BOARD
Yesterday we reported on the news that Loughborough MP, Jane Hunt MP (aka the MP for Quorn), was in the news for a foul-mouthed attack on Boris Johnson’s Downing Street Chief of Staff. The full report from yesterday is reproduced below. TODAY, WE CAN CONFIRM THAT WE HAVE HAD CONTACT FROM JANE HUNT HERSELF AND SHE ISN’T HAPPY WITH OUR REPORT.
She contacted Loughborough Tourist Board Towers this morning to request that the post be taken down from the page. When we asked for a reason for this attempt at censorship she failed to provide anything adequate, merely responding that the report had nothing to do with tourism in our beloved town. We used the opportunity to ask her some questions but first we wish to be quite clear on our content:
EDITORIAL DECISIONS ARE OURS AND OURS ALONE. If we consider content appropriate and newsworthy, we will publish it. We will not be told what we should or shouldn’t publish by here today / gone tomorrow politicians. SHE MIGHT BE IN FAVOUR OF STAMPING OUT PROTEST, SHE MIGHT VOTE TO AMEND THE HUMAN RIGHTS ACT, BUT SHE WILL NOT SHUT US UP. NOT EVER.
In one way, Hunt is right: the story about her potty-mouthed Westminster antics is not about tourism. It is about her reported duplicity. At the present stage she is seemingly saying one thing in private and another in public. The story is about whether she keeps propping up the current prime minister, or whether she has the guts to publicly denounce him when she is clearly unhappy with Downing Street. We assured her we would willingly insert a quote from her into the original post, but she has failed to provide one.
We asked Hunt a number of questions this morning but she has, so far, failed to comment. We asked if she would resign as a PPS. NO REPLY. We asked what she thought about the mess her government was in. NO REPLY. We asked if she felt tarnished by supporting the shambolic Boris Johnson. NO REPLY. There was no reply to any of these legitimate questions but we have more for her. HAS SHE CONTACTED THE The Times and The Sunday Times TO ASK FOR THEIR REPORT TO BE TAKEN DOWN? DOES SHE THINK THAT LOCAL RESIDENTS SHOULD IGNORE WHAT GOES ON IN WESTMINSTER?
It remains to be seen if Boris Johnson will be leader of the Conservative Party in the next week or so. We will be watching to see the role our elected representative plays in what happens next. Where we think it relevant, rest assured, we will report it.

From 22nd January 2022.
BREAKING NEWS: LOUGHBOROUGH’S MP IN POTTY-MOUTHED RANT AT NUMBER 10 CHIEF OF STAFF. JANE HUNT SPEAKS OUT IN PRIVATE AT SHAMBLES OF TORY GOVERNMENT BUT IN PUBLIC SHE DECLARES THAT BORIS JOHNSON SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO ‘GET ON WITH THE JOB’.
P*SS
Tonight, it has emerged that Jane Hunt MP, known locally as the MP for Quorn (on account of her not giving a stuff about Loughborough), launched a potty-mouthed attack at a meeting of junior members of the government. The Sunday Times reports that at the meeting she told the No10 Chief of Staff, Dan Rosenfield, ‘I wouldn’t p*ss on you if you were on fire’, an image nobody needed.
LIES
She, along with other attendees, are fed up with the shambles occurring under the current Tory administration, a government which she remains part of and has continued to publicly back SINCE the meeting. The hypocrisy of her position means that she went on record as telling Sky News just two days after her urine inspired fire hydrant comment, that she thinks Boris Johnson should just be allowed to ‘get on with the job’, seemingly accepting his ludicrous lies, ridiculous apologies and the idea that he didn’t even know his own lockdown rules.
GUTS
At some point she will need to say in public what she clearly believes in private, and resign as a parliamentary private secretary. DOES SHE HAVE THE GUTS? The people of will rightly assume that if she carries on backing the hapless, lying Johnson in public, that she really is taking is taking the wee-wee.
