They're already pushing towards a £9 an hour minimum wage, I don't see how the extra £1 suddenly means that "small businesses would be bankrupt" (if they wouldn't already under current Tory plans)...
But yeah, if it's impossible to live on the minimum wage then something has gone very wrong with an economy. Of course, the two major factors that currently make it impossible - in my opinion - are not the wage levels themselves, but rather, sky-high cost of essentials. Private rent, utility bills, fuel. Those are the things that make it impossible.
