I cannot afford any rent in my town let along think a mortgage.
So I have to live at home, and as such my parents who are both retired can't claim anything as I live at home.

I reckon if you leave they'd have to up the wage to offset the new minimum wage but I doubt they'll pay up it you stay. That goes for most jobs.
So probably there might be a lot of people moving jobs for a better rate of pay for the same job they are doing now.
Also when inflation changes and interests rates go up because of this budget your £11.50 will look even worse. (Probable).
