    “Labour will also remove the discriminatory age bands, so all adults are entitled to the same minimum wage, delivering a pay rise to hundreds of thousands of workers across the UK.”

    I like this change, shame it wasn’t in place when I was younger!

    My concern with this is that for a lot of young people retail is their first job, and so I suspect retail is predominantly young workers. What kind of impact would this have on the economy? E.g. if Morrisons hires lots of younger people and they now need to increase all their pays, I’m guessing they’ll need to cut staff numbers or increase prices? Of course they are going to avoid cutting into their profits. Now times this by however many retailers there are. I can only guess there is the hope that people will buy more.






  • I’ll be glad to see the backs of the Tories, but I don’t have high expectations for Labour. Every time the Tories fuck up Labour simply suggests “we wouldn’t do it that way.” Hindsight is a pretty powerful thing and I don’t know if they’ll be able to make the right decisions either.

    Tories definitely shouldn’t win, but I don’t feel labour deserve to win. I feel like I’m voting for the lesser of 2 evils 😞









  • I’ve been having a real nightmare in recent months with sleeping. I get ear pain if I use a pillow that is too firm, but if I don’t use a firm pillow a soft pillow sinks or bunches up over night and causes neck pain. I can’t use a firm pillow with a soft pillow on top otherwise it’s too high and leads of neck pain. If I sleep on my back I’ll snore.

    I just don’t know what to do, I can’t find a suitable pillow.
