Boos for Hunt at medals ceremony

JEREMY Hunt has become the latest politician to incur the wrath of the Paralympic crowds after hundreds booed the new Health Secretary.

Mr Hunt, who was promoted from his role as Culture, Media and Sport Secretary in the Cabinet reshuffle, was roundly jeered as he presented Britain’s Rachel Morris with a bronze in the women’s cycling road race.

Morris and fellow Brit Karen Darke had earlier tried to cross the finishing line by holding hands, ensuring they each received a bronze medal at Brands Hatch. But officials refused to oblige, and it was Morris alone who finished third.
