Ensure that the national minimum wage is a living wage.

Raise the minimum wage so that it is a real living wage for all workers (regardless of age). This would, according to the Real Living Wage Foundation, see the minimum wage rise to £9.30 across the UK and £10.75 in London. https://www.livingwage.org.uk/what-real-living-wage
