Remove Jeremy Hunt as Health Secretary for willful mismanagement of the role

Rejected 18 signatures

What the petition asks

Hunt has continually worked to antagonise the BMA by manipulating statistics, linguistic bullying and threatening tactics, resulting in a complete loss of confidence in his fitness for his role amongst the United Kingdom electorate.

Why it was rejected

It was about honours or appointments, which petitions cannot cover.

We can't accept petitions about appointments. If you're concerned about a particular policy or decision that's the responsibility of Government or Parliament, you could start a petition about that.
