UK Chancellor Jeremy Hunt faces criticism for stating £100k salary isn't "huge" in his Surrey constituency.

The UK's Chancellor, Jeremy Hunt, claimed that £100,000 was not a "huge salary" in his Surrey constituency in a recent social media post. His comment was criticised by Labour's Shadow Paymaster General, Jonathan Ashworth, who accused the Tories of being "desperately out of touch" with working people. The UK's median gross annual salary for full-time employees stands at £34,963, according to the Office for National Statistics.
