Raise the National Living Wage to £12.50

Background

We believe that raising the National Living Wage to £12.50 could help ensure fairer pay amid rising living costs, help reduce in-work poverty, and help boost consumer spending. It could support workers and families while stimulating the economy and reducing reliance on public benefits.

Additional details

It could help tackle the cost-of-living crisis and ensure workers earn enough to cover basic needs like housing, food, and energy. In our view, too many people are working full-time yet struggling to make ends meet. A higher National Living Wage could help reduce poverty, boost morale, and support mental and physical well-being. It could also help stimulate the economy by increasing consumer spending. We think the government must ensure fair pay, reduce inequality, and create a sustainable economy.
