Jeremy Hunt doubles down on ‘£100k a year doesn’t go far’ claim: UK chancellor defends remarks about high salaries after being criticised for being out of touch
theguardian.com/politics/2024/mar/24/jeremy-hunt-doubles-down-on-100k-a-year-doesnt-go-far-claim
Jeremy Hunt doubles down on ‘£100k a year doesn’t go far’ claim
Quick Glance: Jeremy Hunt's View on £100k Income & Financial Realities
  • Jeremy Hunt's perception of £100,000 as a high income contrasts with the national median of £35,000, placing it significantly above average.

  • Even in affluent areas like Godalming and Ash, where Hunt is campaigning, the median income of £56,606 shifts the perspective on six-figure salaries.

  • Hunt's remarks were deemed inappropriate by experts as data shows many households are struggling due to living costs, including those in higher income brackets.

  • New tax and benefit regulations for higher incomes could lead to unexpected financial burdens, as the offer of free childcare for parents earning over £100,000 is limited.

Julian Assange gets temporary reprieve as he fights extradition to US
Quick Glance: Julian Assange: UK Court Delays US Extradition
  • A British court ruled that Julian Assange cannot be extradited to the United States unless U.S. authorities guarantee he won't face the death penalty.

  • Assange will remain in London's Belmarsh Prison as the legal battle continues.

  • Judges emphasized the need for Assange to receive the same protections as a U.S. citizen and to be spared from the death penalty.

  • The U.S. Justice Department declined to comment, while Assange's supporters argue for his rights as a journalist under the First Amendment.

Quick Glance: Compensation Demanded for Women Affected by Pension Age Changes - Ombudsman
  • In 1995, a law was passed setting out a timetable to gradually raise the retirement age for women to 65, aligning it with men.

  • The coalition government decided in 2010 to accelerate this timetable, resulting in the new higher retirement age for women being brought forward to 2018.

  • The ombudsman suggests that women in the sample cases should receive compensation ranging from £1,000 to £2,950, but the Department for Work and Pension (DWP) disagrees.

  • Based on the report, the DWP strongly doubts providing a remedy and has asked Parliament to intervene in light of the significant impact of maladministration.
