  not just leave the country- leave the towns in the UK that need to catch up to retain their talent. The brain drain is real, young people leave their small towns because theres no progress or future, most go where the better paid work is. If they want to level up, cutting minimum wage is the opposite of what needs to happen

    Gov has never been interested in leveling up, was and is an election strategy. Like saying you’ll build 40 new hospitals when what’s actually happened is some have been touched up.
