The War on Low Pay (led by the likes of @resfoundation) is, in practice, a war on wage differentials. Relative prices are necessary to allow markets to function and clear properly. This is why the labour market is screwed up!
Minimum wage increases since 2015 have all but ended ‘low’ pay.
In 2011, 21% of workers were low paid – defined as hourly pay below two-thirds of the overall median. By April 2024 3.4% of employees were low paid on this measure.

‘There is nothing socialist about a system of open borders that allows multi-nationals to treat people as commodities and move them around Europe to drive down Labour costs and create a race to the bottom.’
That's a proper ‘Old Labour’ Eurosceptic position which could have been articulated by Tony Benn or Peter Shore. It might present @KemiBadenoch with an opportunity at #PMQs, but he'll simply pivot to: ‘Ten years on, Brexit hasn't worked so we need an honest discussion..’, and in his earnest bleating he'll talk vaguely about things not working, and yearningly for hope and unity, and all his 2016 fervour will diffuse in his 2026 persona. He's just another charlatan who adopts whatever is politically expedient. Who knew?

Absolutely floored by bus prices!
My 2yo is obsessed with vehicles (diggers = the holy grail but a colourful bus will do) so we treated him and his baby brother to a bus ride from our village outside Swansea to the library, 2 miles away, to borrow yet another digger book.
It's a journey we do regularly in 6 mins by car.
Finally found substantive proof that I am not middle class.
The NMKOTN family motor would NOT have been penalised under Labour’s suggested new car weight* tax and even brand new today, the equivalent wouldn’t be penalised by the ‘luxury car tax’.

Creating a tax break for those who have not made any other provision for retirement that those who have don't get is beyond stupid (and I don't think pensioners should get an income tax break denied to working people full stop).
This is incredible, peak woke, box of frogs stuff.

I’m not sure if the first widespread network outages come just before or just after an early election.
I’m struggling to decide which would be sweeter irony.

I texted my children that we got the puppy they’ve been begging me for and sent them a link with pictures. 🐶When they clicked on the link, it took them to a webpage that said YOU’RE GROUNDED. They’ll be spending the weekend retaking our family’s cybersecurity training course.
