Real change starts to land for working people. Our once in a generation enhancement to workersโ rights and pay are now coming into force, alongside action to support pensioners and tackle child poverty.
From today:
State Pension ๐๐ฝ ๐ฏ๐ ๐ฐ.๐ด%

This is after last week’s boost to pay and measures to cut the cost-of-living:

This month Labour are putting more money in your pocket to help with the cost of living and are boosting workers rights.
And from tomorrow, the Fair Work Agency is up and running making sure these rights are properly enforced. This is what ‘making work pay’ looks like.
We’re turning the tide on the Tory years of insecurity, unproductivity, low-pay and decline – and Reform have tried to block us the whole way.
