Living Wage: Number 10 Petition and Campaign Blog
Nick Wall from Merseyside GMB has set off a Number 10 Petition calling for a "living wage" rather than a "minimum wage" principle. It has as a corollary the idea of quite detailed local variation according to the cost of living which is kinda controversial but I've signed.
Nick has also set up a campaign resource blog. John Cruddas MP and Caroline Lucas MEP are among those endorsing the campaign.
Also spotted today. Left Politics for the 21st Century is a Facebook group that looks, shall we say, rather more scholarly than the herd.

Great to see this get going. So many excellent campaigns like this about these days.
Indeed. What do you think about having a different rate for every location?
I would love it if Manchester Town Hall started a movement to pay £1 (at least) over the minimum throughout the city as a badge of progress from the poverty of the last century.
