I suspect that Jeremy Hunt has another wife – that he has failed to declare. He does tend to forget to declare things.

Jeremy Hunt is:
1) In a competition with Boris Johnson to see who can commit the most knuckle chewing gaffe on an overseas visit
2) Sleeping on the sofa when he gets back https://t.co/iWlxQ2rbaA

Not everyone was piling in on him though. Some people sympathised. A bit.
No fan of JH but feel a bit sorry for him here- presumably he knows whether his wife is Japanese or Chinese and simply misspoke. Unlike BJ who was lazy, careless and woefully ignorant throughout his time in office.

Well, kind of.
Hmmm. I was married to an American for 8 years and not once did I accidentally refer to him as not-American. I can’t even imagine the mental process in which that kind of misspeaking could have occurred.

I agree it’s very odd but it’s clearly a slip of the tongue.
— Lizzie Coulter (@lizziecoulter) July 30, 2018
Yes. And the mental process behind that tongue slip is what’s so hideously compelling.

To conclude …
Nope, Boris still wins.
