I mentioned #NationalLivingWage at the start of this 🧵 I'm disgusted at the amount difference for those under 23.
I understand under 18's being paid less - they're still in education.
18-20 year olds: £7.49 an hour
21-22 year olds: £10.18
23 +: £10.42
NO EXCUSE!
Section titled "#VulnerablePeople and #Pensioners"
Capping social rent at a maximum of 7% is something. It's better than the 11% that was predicted. With the #NationalLivingWage this should help.
I criticise the tories a lot. I despise them. But I will give some credit.

The #AutumnStatement from #JeremyHunt
🧵🧵🧵 (my initial thoughts)
Can it be clarified: is the "#NationalLivingWage the same as the #NationalMinimumWage? Because if not, then a "raise" is pointless...?
