Chancellor will give his Conservative Party conference speech this afternoon, where he is expected to announce a living wage increase but resist calls from within his own party to lower taxes
ahead of his speech, the Chancellor said it is “not the right time” for tax cuts as they would fuel inflation.His speech follows Culture, Media and Sport Secretary Lucy Frazer’s address.
The pledge will meet a 2019 manifesto commitment to increase pay for the lowest paid workers to two thirds of median earnings. “The wages of the lowest paid are over £9,000 a year higher than they were in 2010 – because if you work hard, a Conservative government will always have your back.”programme on Monday morning: “We are a free society; you can’t force anyone to do anything, but we have to answer the exam question as to how we deal with the fact that every year we are putting around 100,000 people on to benefits without any obligation to look for work, in an economy where there are about a million vacancies.
