    "David Miliband has joined forces with his party leader brother Ed behindLabour plans to deliver a "living wage" of well over £7.20 an hour – rising to more than £8.30 in London – for millions of workers in both the public and the private sectors...  they insist that more must be done to lift people out of in-work poverty...

    The list of Labour councils already paying a living wage includes Birmingham, Oxford, Preston and the London boroughs of Hounslow, Lambeth, Camden, Islington, Lewisham, Southwark and Hackney."

    good for labour, remembering where they came from.

    "Another idea being considered is to oblige large employers to make public the proportion of employees on their books who are paid at a rate below the living wage.

    The independent Resolution Foundation's Commission on Living Standards last week suggested that the law be changed so that all listed companies on the stock exchange have to make clear how many people are paid less than the living wage.

    Both Ed and David Miliband put the living wage at the heart of their campaigns to lead the Labour party in 2010. Before the last election David Cameron also expressed backing, saying it was a "good and attractive idea"."

    that would be an interesting list.

    Cool. Screw the economy even more why don't you, Labour?

    "Oh, I can't afford to employ all 100 of my workers because of the 25% rise in a minimum wage, so I'll be making a fifth of them redundant."

    I thought you wanted everyone to have a job, Knoxy? You're a no-good Capitalist-Fascist!

    Well actually if you give everyone a 25% rise you would get rid of 20% of them to get back to the original wage bill.......

    You tell them Spengler lad. I'd shoot anyone who'd been unemployed for 6 months or more. That would create work for ex army snipers and then we'd have to have someone get rid of the bodies too. Everyones a winner.

Howdy, Stranger!
