I agree - it's way too low!
The immediate problem with raising the national minimum wage to a sensible livable level is that many, even most, minimum wage recipients are directly or indirectly government employees!

Woodworker, computer programmer, wildlife photographer & Anglo/Francophone. Anti-Brexit. Detest f**king filthy tory scum. Live in Luxembourg but a citizen of the benighted shit-hole known as the United Kingdom! A radical socialist with green leanings.

Trump launched Operation Midnight Hammer in June 2025 because he says โhe canโt allow Iran to have nuclear weaponsโ. He claimed total destruction of Iranโs nuclear facilities. And yet, this latest attack is because he says โHe cant allow Iran to have nuclear weaponsโ.
Smells like bull shit to me!
The president of the United States killed children to distract from raping children.

"Socialism is a scare #word they have hurled at every advance the people have made in the last 20 years. #Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called #SocialSecurity. Socialism is what they called farm price supports. ... " โ Harry S. Truman, 1952

All those supposed negotiations?
It was ALL bullshit. All of it.
It's all lies.

Bombing Iran in the middle of negotiations, whilst starving Cuba, whilst genociding Palestinians, whilst threatening to invade Greenlandโฆ
Clearly, the US and Israel are the single greatest threat to humanity and itโs not even closeโฆ
Meanwhile, weโre all forced to live in the nightmare they create.
Seems there were many times he was dreaming of war with Iran.

And did you see his video? He apparently has no problem with American casualties. Literally like no biggie.

It's unwavering support of Israel's genocide against the Palestinians has pretty much lost Starmer's Labour the next general election. Few Muslims will vote for a party that supports Israel and that vote is critical in quite a number of constituencies!

It's not just that Gorton is a catastrophe for Starmer - it's the extent! Being forced into 3rd place behind the Greens & Reform doesn't just say the current administration is not doing what people want, it screams it at the top of its voice!
Andy Burnham could maybe have won it; dream on Labour!
Gorton and Denton has a significant Muslim population - did Labour really think that they would vote Labour after the government resolutely supporting Israel's genocide in Gaza?
Is Labour completely stupid?
For those seeking a bit of fresh air online - the left-leaning French newspaper "Le Monde" has a website available in English which is worth a look as it makes a nice change from the right wing BBC & the British popular press; particularly the Daily Heil & Express!

Gorton is an absolutely catastrophic loss for Starmer - it could easily be the end of his career as PM.
