Discussion of how likely the present government is to achieve its high-wage aim is legitimate but besides the point you were trying to make. Whatever that was.

I’m not sure it can legitimately be described as a false equivalence. As you describe they are absolutely related policy objectives. Neither policy exists in a vacuum.
If the Government position is that the vast majority of workers should accept real terms pay reductions to reduce inflation longer term then that’s the exact opposite of creating a high skill, high wage economy. It’s a race to the bottom. Which you well know.
