Fair play to the Tories. This has been one thing that they have massively got right.This graph shows the way pay rises have been much higher for the poorest workers since they brought this in. The exact opposite of what happened under Thatcher.Labour made the first step in bringing in the Minimum Wage, but that wasn't enough. The Tories raised the game and they deserve a lot of credit for this policy.
The...errr...did you say the "centre left demographic of the FT".
The top ten percent does include the very rich but also just the rich. The issue with wealth inequality is the very rich. They are the tories friends, they have increased their wealth massively.I doubt very much that with tax band thresholds being held that the assessment is accurate. The recent budget was for the wealthy, no doubt at all.Food banks have mushroomed under the Tories. Many people are far poorer in real terms. Not only that but services such as the police are literally a hairs breadth from breaking. Much much worse under the tories. Such crumbling services seriously affect the poorer more.

It may just quieten down those crying about the welfare bill and stop businesses that pay low wages paying dividends out of taxes.I would think that those receiving a low wage would rather get a living wage than rely on welfare.

You wouldn't vote for another 5 years of tory government would you bp?

This is how it's done clh, basically if a fund doesn't perform it cannot take on any new members, all performance data for each fund is published including what % of the fund (fees) are used to run the fund.Implemented in 1992The super guarantee (SG) is the minimum amount of super you must pay to your employees to avoid the super guarantee charge. The SG is currently 11% of your employee’s base earnings (ordinary time earnings), and is planned to progressively increase to 12% by 2025.https://business.gov.au/finance/superannuation#:~:text=The%20super%20guarantee%20(SG)%20is,increase%20to%2012%25%20by%202025.https://www.finder.com.au/super-funds/best-performing-super-funds?futm_medium=cpc&futm_source=google&futm_campaign=17784239650~137693310423&futm_term=super%20funds~p~g&futm_content=~~EAIaIQobChMI7Jbd-IuChQMVu-sWBR0Kcw9hEAAYASAAEgL7hPD_BwE~&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI7Jbd-IuChQMVu-sWBR0Kcw9hEAAYASAAEgL7hPD_BwEThis is the gov body that oversees the super industryhttps://www.apra.gov.au/annual-superannuation-performance-testThis is the equivalent of 'Which' with more info on super fundshttps://www.choice.com.au/money/financial-planning-and-investing/superannuation/articles/mergers-2022
