Living Wage Scotland
Living Wage Scotland@LivingWageScot·
We're often asked about the difference between the real Living Wage & the legal minimum wage. The real Living Wage is voluntary. 1000s of employers in Scotland choose to pay the real Living Wage because they want to do right by people. Find out more: bit.ly/3rqiTPZ

Around 80,000 children - the equivalent of all children 16 and under in Edinburgh - are living in very deep poverty. The next Scottish Government needs to radically change the game if they are to reach the 2030 child poverty reduction targets.

Important report. - Public recognise ec pressures impact on health - & affects public services & economy - But poverty & social security failures = key drivers. New @TrussellUK & @wpi_economics research next week sets out cost to the UK of hunger & hardship, health= major theme
Amy Gandon@GandonAmy

Delighted to launch this report, busting one of the biggest myths in British politics. The public doesn't see public health intervention as 'the nanny state'. In fact, they want bolder action - incl among key swing voters. This has major implications for policy & politics. 🧵
