TORY ministers plan to spend £5 million of taxpayers’ cash on a propaganda campaign to promote their so-called “national living wage,” the Morning Star can reveal.

The vast sum is to be spent on advertising the Chancellor’s pay “con-trick” across Britain before its implementation on April 1.

The government insists it’s necessary to inform workers of the scheme, but Labour has accused ministers of “false advertising” that risks damaging the real living wage campaign.
