       Today, the Chancellor is going to tell everyone about his plans for the country's money, but in 2019 he was clearly annoyed by Mr Vine’s line of questioning.

       During the interview, Mr Vine called him the "richest man in Cabinet".

       At the time, Mr Hunt had a holiday house in Italy, a building in London and seven flats he rented out in Southampton. He also received ￡14million from selling part of a company he helped start.

       Mr Vine said: "I gather you're the richest member of the Cabinet".

       Mr Hunt replied: "Hang on. My salary while I was running my business was a lot lower than your salary now,” reported the Mirror.

       Mr Vine answered: "But I am not in Cabinet."

       Mr Vine then said he was just saying it's good that Mr Hunt did well in business.

       He told him: "I was just pointing out that you were a business person who made some money, that is all."

       "I love the way you immediately think that it is critical."

       But Mr Hunt replied: "No you weren't. You brought up that fact which may or may not be true - I have no idea.

       "A lot of people would say if we start labelling people like that in a way which says that kind of thing is not a compliment we are not going to be a successful country."

       Mr Hunt said if Mr Vine “really meant it as a compliment", he would take it.

       He said: "Thank you Jeremy for instead of saying I was successful and set up a business and created 200 jobs that you said I was the richest man in Cabinet."

       "And if that was meant as a compliment - which I somehow doubt - then thank you for that very generous compliment."

       To which Mr Vine replied: "Wow."
