    Piss in the ocean after the rate went up last month. I almost feel bad for the people who are actively into poverty but will somehow still vote tory at the next election. When was that again? We’re waiting Rish

      Prediction: They'll leave it as long as possible before calling the election.

      Secondary prediction: If they think people are predicting they're holding off as long as possible, they'll call it earlier than they have to in order to prove the prediction wrong.

      Tertiary prediction: "Earlier" will be no more than a month.

    Or you could just you know, enforce a decent minimum wage, or maybe basic universal income ?
