Jeremy Hunt has given over £100,000 to local Tory party in bid to retain seat

Chancellor Jeremy Hunt has donated over £100,000 to his local Conservative party, as he faces the risk of losing his seat according to a Survation poll.
The significant personal contributions to the South-west Surrey Conservative association come as Liberal Democrats target his Godalming and Ash constituency. Donations surged during his tenure, with a drop recorded in 2021.

Financial difficulties are evident in the local party's accounts, signaling the need for increased member subscriptions. Labour critics accuse him of focusing more on his political prospects than the economy, while local issues such as healthcare and GP access dominate voter concerns.

Deputy Liberal Democrat leader Daisy Cooper points to dissatisfaction in Surrey over local services and the cost of living crisis. Despite the challenges, Hunt remains hopeful about retaining his position post-election.
