Re: Starmer’s chronicles
What's that coming over the Hill? Is it a U-turn?
Quote:
The chancellor has been speaking to broadcasters this morning - and didn't rule out a potential 16th U-turn from the government coming down the tracks.

This centres on the promise from Labour to bring up the minimum wage for 18 to 20 year-olds in line with the rest of the workforce.

However, there are reports this could be delayed or scrapped due to the impact it is having on youth unemployment.

Asked if the government is sticking to its manifesto plans on youth wages, Rachel Reeves dodges answering.

To me, if an increase in minimum wage is counter-productive, reacting to the evidence by not increasing it further is a sensible adjustment.
