Jeremy Hunt has said the next prime minister should be someone who is trustworthy, otherwise the UK risks a general election and no Brexit.

Axar.az reports citing BBC.

In an interview with the BBC, the foreign secretary said the ability to negotiate a new Brexit deal "is about the personality of the prime minister".

"I do believe I can be trusted to deliver this deal," he said.

Mr Hunt said he would leave the EU without a deal, but not if there was a "prospect of a better deal".

He and Boris Johnson are competing to take over from Theresa May, with the winner of the contest due to enter Number 10 on 24 July.
