Labour said Jeremy Hunt’s remarks revealed how ‘desperately out of touch’ the Tory Government is.
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’.
“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.
