Jeremy Hunt was referring to a call he had with a constituent where he said the salary is not a lot in his local area.
The Chancellor has said that £100,000 a year is “not a huge salary” for people in his Surrey constituency.
“That is an issue I would really like to sort out after the next election as I am aware that it is not huge salary in our area if you have a mortgage to pay.” Shadow Paymaster General Jonathan Ashworth said: “The Chancellor has again revealed how desperately out of touch the Tories are with working people when he claims someone earning £100,000 a year is not a ‘huge salary’.
"But it’s a great deal more than the national or local average and a massive indicator as to why the cost-of-living crisis impacting residents across the country seems to have missed him totally.”, Mr Hunt announced an increase in the threshold at which the high-income child benefit charge starts from £50,000 to £60,000 from April.
