Nearly two million people will receive £10.42 an hour from now, a 92p rise.

I would just like to thank the politicians in all parties for causing this while pretending they had nothing to do with it and have all the answers. In reality they have printed tens/hundreds of billions of pounds (inflation), failed to implement energy security, pursuing insane policies which impoverish us all via net zero. Failed to correct the house price inflation while at the same time failing to ensure sufficient new houses are built for our youngsters. Increased taxes to the highest in living memory, failed to invest in infrastructure such as roads etc. Honestly in the May election the best option is to write none of the above on the ballot paper
