Introduce a statutory minimum real-wage growth target & freeze energy bills
The Government should introduce a statutory minimum real-wage growth target (e.g. 3% above CPI) for workers in England and Wales, and freeze energy bills for all households earning under £35,000 per year until mid-2026.
Many in the UK are still grappling with a high cost-of-living: inflation, rising rent and housing costs, energy bills, falling real incomes. Public opinion shows that the economy, tax, housing and cost of living feature as top concerns for many. Some reports show around 7 million low-income households are going without essentials like food and adequate heating. Meanwhile, there is a 2-child benefit cap, as well as increased living costs and tax for many.
If you want to sign this petition (as opposed to merely discuss it), you need to do that on the government's e-Petitions website.
