The above counter shows how much at this point in the week (Friday lunchtime) a person on the National Minimum Wage has earned. It also shows how little a person would be earning now at the level of wages the Tories thought were acceptable.
Conservatives the Progressive Party? Don't make me spit my tea out!
It took the election of a Labour Government to ensure people were paid enough for their hard work to live the life of a civilised human being.
Check out the list of Tories, including many current shadow Ministers and Shadow Cabinet members, who voted against the National Minimum Wage.
But mark my words, the Conservatives are saying they support the Minimum Wage just to get themselves elected but will fiddle with the value of it so that we will go back to the days of the extreme poverty wages seen under the last Tory Government.
This is what Cameron says on the matter:
"Like the minimum wage.We'll keep it and, when we can, we'll increase it."
Think there's little difference between the parties? Believe me, that qualifying 'when we can' will fall in rather different places.
