Jeremy Hunt resigns as British Foreign Secretary, takes up biggest challenge

Jeremy Hunt has announced to resign as Foreign Secretary of United Kingdom and has decided to take up the biggest challenge of all which is to be a good dad. He made this announcement on his official Twitter account saying he would have been honored to carry on his work at the FCO but understand the need for a new PM to choose his team.

1/4 I would have been honoured to carry on my work at the FCO but understand the need for a new PM to choose his team. BJ kindly offered me another role but after 9 yrs in Cabinet & over 300 cab mtgs now is the time to return 2 backbenches from where PM will have my full support

He said he has been a cabinet minister for every hour his 3 gorgeous children have been alive, therefore "now is the time for the biggest challenge of all - to be a GOOD DAD!"

2/4 I've been a cabinet minister for every hour my 3 gorgeous children have been alive. So whilst it may seem strange for someone who just tried to become PM (& is a terrible cliche) I have decided now is the time for the biggest challenge of all - to be a GOOD DAD!

He thanked the members of the Conservative Party for supporting him.

4/4 Also most importantly heartfelt thanks to the 1/3 of Conservative Party members who supported me. Despite being the outsider, the #HastobeHunt campaign was spirited & smart (if I do say so myself). I was truly humbled with the confidence placed in me by so many people.
