Critics have accused the Chancellor of being out of touch
Jeremy Hunt has doubled down on his claims that £100,000 a year is 'not a huge salary' for people in his constituency after critics accused him of being out of touch. The Chancellor said the money 'doesn’t go as far as you might think' in south-west Surrey.
He said: "What sounds like a large salary – when you have house prices averaging around £670,000 in my area and you’ve got a mortgage and childcare costs – it doesn’t go as far as you might think. We weren’t able to afford to fund childcare for people on the higher salaries but I was simply saying that’s something I’d love to be able to look at in the next parliament.
Shadow paymaster general Jonathan Ashworth said: "The overwhelming majority of working people in this country would dream of earning that, yet they are all being made to pay the price of 14 years of Tory failure. It is staggering for the Chancellor to complain about mortgage costs when it was the Conservatives who crashed the economy with their kamikaze budget and sent mortgage costs through the roof.
