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.

Quick Glance: Taiwan's Navy Chief to Visit U.S. for Military Talks, Sources Say
- Taiwan's navy chief, Tang Hua, will visit the United States next week to attend a military ceremony and discuss enhancing bilateral naval cooperation amid rising threats from China.
- Unlike visits by senior officials from allies like Japan and Britain, Taiwanese official visits, especially in the military, are discreet and often not officially confirmed.
- Taiwan and the United States have had no official diplomatic or military relationship since 1979, when the U.S. switched recognition to Beijing, although the United States is bound by law to provide the island with the means to defend itself.
- The U.S. and Taiwan are trying to line up a Tang-Franchetti meeting, which has not been confirmed, said one source, a U.S. official.
