THE minimum costs of a one-month internship have increased by 15 per cent since before the pandemic, a new analysis by the Labour Party has revealed.

The analysis, published yesterday evening, found that interns would have to pay £160 more to do a one-month internship in London with the higher costs of essentials considered, while in Manchester interns would have to pay £127 more a month.

Record levels of inflation mean that the minimum costs of doing a one-month internship have increased by 14 per cent in London and 15 per cent in Manchester since 2018, Labour said.
