| It's actually an outrageous George Osborne scam. The living wage (as set by the Living Wage Foundation) has been going for years, is based on an assessment of what minimum wage is needed for people to live, with a separate rate for London (for obvious reasons) Osborne has stolen the expression 'Living Wage' and applied it to a mildly uprated minimum wage (which everybody agrees is not enough to live on) At the same time he has cut in work benefits (NB, benefits for people who work, not 'scroungers')such that all bar the top 20% of incomes will be worse off (source: Institute of Fiscal Studies) with those in the lowest 30% of income worse off by about £20 per week. Invest in food banks, they'll be a booming industry. Perhaps IDS already has. (Note also that this is the third major change in the so-called long term economic plan since last October. He gets through long term plans like some football clubs get through managers) |
