Corbyn slams Tories’ ‘living wage’ failure
Those on the rate to be £900 poorer in 2020
TORY failure on the economy will leave full-time workers on the government’s con-trick national living wage (NLW) £900 worse off in 2020, Jeremy Corbyn warned yesterday.
Speaking in Glasgow, the Labour leader said the projected rate of the NLW three years from now had been cut in last week’s Budget to £8.56, down from £8.75 in the previous Budget in March.
This falls short of the £9 first promised by the Tories when the policy was announced in 2015.
