Minimum wage rise: Govt must make people’s money go further
25 Nov 2025
EMBARGO: Immediate Release
Responding to the news that the minimum wage is to increase by 4.1%, Liberal Democrat Treasury Spokesperson Daisy Cooper MP said:
"Increasing the minimum wage is always welcome news for millions of low-paid workers but unless businesses are able to grow, there is a danger that this will result in fewer jobs being available overall.
"The government must make people’s money go further by slashing energy bills, boosting our high streets with a cut to VAT for hospitality until 2027, and going for growth with a better deal with Europe.”
