@cammerslea @PhilipProudfoot The real living wage is based on a "basket" of essentials, food housing, childcare etc. it is £13.45. £15 is most likely a rounded number future proofed to be relevant by the time they'd hypothetically get into power. To be honest its nearly outdated for London who's is £14.80

@PhilipProudfoot Can I ask a couple Qs Phillip - first where has £15 come from? Why not more or why not less? Also why do greens not pay that as it stands for the majority of its roles? Is it cus it’s maybe not viable to do so?

@Alpha_Sources @DrNickA It's all a property issue. The largest costs for a business is labour and rent, bring down property prices for businesses too and more can thrive

@DrNickA Isn't housing the biggest cost for the average person in the UK? If the government dealt with that then they wouldn't have to raise minimum wage

This tweet is a fascinating insight into the dire state of the U.K. Mostly it’s people who find it morally abhorrent for people to be on minimum wage serving coffee. If you can’t use the minimum wage for entry level unskilled work. What can you use it for? Many seem to think Peter should divert his savings to subsidise higher wages effectively operating at a loss. An economically irrational thing to do. Why would you pay (and work) to lose money? Many seem to think he should shut the coffee shop down completely, removing those jobs from the market all together. Presumably no jobs is a better outcome than minimum wage jobs. The minimum wage is now roughly £26k a year. About what I started on as a mathematics lecturer in 2010 after I completed by PhD. I worked 60-80 hours a week. Your take home pay on the national average wage is only £170 a week more than someone on a minimum wage job. Which in order to get you’d need to have a profession and about a decades worth of experience in that profession. That’s like one family meal and maybe a trip to the cinema. Hardly worth a decades hard work is it? And if you’re trying to save for a property, you won’t be able to have that. It also means that the median UK worker is a family meal and some mild entertainment away from morally objectionable abject poverty. What a mess

A minimum wage of £15 would end my coffee shop, it would have to close, as would many other businesses. I’ll explain for the economically illiterate. Staff costs are currently half our costs, a £15 minimum wage is actually more than £15 an hour for the company, because you have to add: - 12.07% holiday - Sick pay - Maternity pay if and when required - National insurance - Pension contributions These costs would mean the shop loses money because remember, energy costs are up, rates are up, regulations are up. Now you can pass these costs onto the consumer - that would mean charging a lot more for coffee, people won’t pay it. The likes of Starbucks and Costa can, because they have economies of scale. The independent doesn’t. Now the little socialist will say well this is your fault, if you can’t run a business that can afford to pay its staff properly, but the little socialist has never run a business and does not understand the dynamics. Now I could pay some staff off and fill those hours myself or reduce us to one staff member during certain periods - but this proves the point that a minimum wage costs jobs. There was a time when these jobs were done by kids, perhaps on the weekend, paid a lower wage, no holiday and no silly employment rights. Perhaps they were even paid cash. The dynamic worked and small businesses like this could operate. It was also a great first job. Sadly now it isn’t worth employing entitlement youngsters at this level of pay. So alas, I don’t need the stress, the business would close, a number of jobs would be lost. Economics is about understanding these dynamics, no vibes. The cost of living is not solved through passing on inflation to the business, it is solved by ending high inflation and creating prosperity. This is what socialists don’t understand, they can’t create prosperity, they can only destroy it.

@PaulCoxComedy 16% of property is bills inc, so its mostly tenants putting that money into the system, even when bill are included its still the tenants money paying those bills. Proportionality. A worker spends far more of their money on things that stimulate the economy than a landlord does

@willwatchesyt Paying bills (i.e expenses) goes directly in to the system. This is elementary.

@PaulCoxComedy How does it go back into the system? It doesn’t. It gets held up in assets. £1000 to a worker gets spend on rent (again being held up by a landlord), food, clothes, eating out, all things that stimulate the economy £1000 to a landlord just goes into their asset

I don’t know you and always try to be kind but this is (at best) prefect level economics/politics. Firstly, most rent does not get ‘hoarded’. On average 80% of rent pays the landlord expenses. Which goes back in to the system. You have bought the demonisation of the landlord class, hook line and sinker.

It’s always minimum wage workers who get the blame and never greedy landlords and companies profiteering off the energy crisis driving up utility costs

So many “business experts” keep saying £15 is unsustainable, soon anything under that will be unsustainable to live on. We need to do something about rent both for housing and business

Completely ignores the massive increase in disposable income this would cause, that people ma spend on I don't know, Coffee... What we really need to ensure is that this extra income isn't eaten up by rent and also businesses aren't being shafted by rent as well
