        The two stories are linked.

        The WTO only provides the framework for remedies. With the current trade wars under way, the WTO is in danger of being swamped with requests for independent arbitration.

        Without the WTO, or if we left the WTO, there would be no recourse at all, might vs right. And China, the USA, and the EU are the only major economies with the might.

          Not for Jeremy Hunt:
          From Wiki
          "After university Hunt worked for two years as a management consultant at OC&C Strategy Consultants, and then became an English language teacher in Japan.[14]

          On his return to Britain he tried his hand at a number of different entrepreneurial business ventures, with three failed start-ups[15] including an attempt to export marmalade to Japan."
