The minimum wage for people over 21 is wholly inadequate as it is. For those under, it's utterly shameful.
Farage's suggestion that it needs to be brought down further is shameful. People starting out in the workplace deserve better than him, better than Reform, and better than Labour.

Our pay campaign is just beginning. At conference, delegates voted to approve a plan:
✅Win pay progression
✅Address pay inequality
✅Recover after years of austerity
To deliver this, we need investment. If sufficient progress is not made, we will consider industrial action.

It's time to reverse austerity - not double down on it. Cuts to disability benefits are an attack on all of us.
There is an alternative: tax the rich.
