The Bremainer Elite! - Jeremy Corbyn

First, the minimum wage is very poorly enforced (by successive governments). Consequently, there is a very large black market for illegal labour, below minimum wage. Second, raising the minimum wage will act as a massive pull to low-skilled EU workers, and will prevent wage acceleration above the level of the minimum wage. The systemic undercutting of workers (as identified by Labour) is a shorthand to the black-market element, and this is why they focus on wage compression as a problem of failed policy/enforcement. They are partly correct. They are also partly incorrect, because they completely ignore the immigration dimension of wage compression. The longer they ignore it, the more their core support will ebb to UKIP.

If you make people self employed then you aren't breaching NMW legislation if they earn well under it per hour. This is the trick loads of companies are pulling from care workers to car valets to parcel delivery drivers.

Another trick is to charge foreign EU workers for board and transport to their jobs.

In regards to workers not being paid the NMW most if them are non-EU citizens who are illegal, who are likely to be found at places like your local [insert ethnic cuisine] resturant or on smaller building sites. (I've actually seen them at the latter more than once.)

If you make too high then it will remove incentive to keep getting better, any job in UK should pay enough to have ok but not great living, house prices should be tackled separetly

Lets make it £19.99 then

So, what he has shown is that he is capable of being a PM - that gets my vote.

Amongst all the nonsense and lies being thrown about, by both sides of the argument, that is the funniest, and most far-fetched, thing I've seen.

Well done.
