More Tory lies then - dressing up an increase in the Minimum Wage and pretending it's the Living Wage.
Brilliant - for a con artist!0 -
Why even bother calling it a Living Wage?
He just confused everyone when he said it. I didn't know if he mean't to say Minimum Wage....but got his words mixed up.
It's a Minimum Wage.....an increase in the Minimum wage, which is a good thing. Why the need to make out it's a Living Wage.This is a system account and does not represent a real person. To contact the Forum Team email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0 -
Martin says that the real living wage is £7.85. He ignores that this is higher in London and that 7.85 assumes all other factors being as before. Eg Tax credits. So actually it should be much more than 7.85 now!0

While I am extremely happy for people on min wage to get this increase, what happens about everyone else?When the min wage came out at £3 (if I remember rightly) I was on £5.80 an hour, nearly double.
Yet their wage has increased at a faster rate than mine, meaning I am now going to be 91p an hour better off than someone on min wage.
It doesn't seem right from my point of view ��:money: Martin Lewis Rocks!:money:0
