Fine if you are living with your parents but if you are on your own and burdened with essential costs such as Rent, council tax, energy bills, food shopping, travel fares; you simply can't survive. You certainly won't be buying cake to eat!!

I don't disagree with a rise in minimum wages, I just think a 25% in one go would be hard to handle for some smaller business.
As long as it is staggered I have absolutely no problem with it going even higher than the £10 mentioned.
As to the cake, it was the politicians that can't have their cake and eat it, not us mere voters.
