- 9,854 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 10,443 - 9 added in the past 24hrs)
The full rate of the new state pension is currently £11,502.40 a year, while the annual income derived from the living wage for a 35-hour week will from April be above £22,000. We think there is a distressing discrepancy between these two figures.
