YouTube Description
as posted by the channelAmid Jeremy Hunt's claims that £100,000 'doesn't go very far' in his constituency, Rachel Johnson hears from a caller echoing the Chancellor's words.
Caller Sunil stresses his wife and he are left with just £600 after taxes and bills and that they can only afford a 'cheap holiday' every year.
Hunt faced criticism after expressing his desire to address childcare support for parents earning six figures on social media earlier this week.
“I spoke to a lady from Godalming about eligibility for the government’s childcare offer which is not available if one parent is earning over £100k", he said in a post. "That is an issue I would really like to sort out after the next election as I am aware that it is not [a] huge salary in our area if you have a mortgage to pay."
He later added: “If you’ve got a mortgage and you’ve got childcare costs, It doesn’t go as far as you think”.
