Labour will today renew its pledge for a £10 living wage as Jeremy Corbyn visits a football club.

The party leader will visit Luton Town to highlight a promise to lift low-paid workers out of poverty through the wallet-filling hike.

The national living wage, the re-branded legal pay floor for those aged 25 and over, is £7.50 an hour.

Workers aged 21 to 24 receive £7.05, those aged 18-20 pocket £5.60 and under-18s get just £4.05.

Mr Corbyn will say: “Low pay blights the lives of huge and growing numbers in our country and fuels widening inequality.

“The Government’s re-branding of the minimum wage to the national living wage hasn’t dealt with the real problems of low pay and rising cost of living.

“That’s why Labour will raise the legal minimum wage for all to at least £10 an hour by 2020, giving more than five and a half million people a pay rise in the process.

“Labour’s Real Living Wage will immediately boost the incomes and opportunities of more than 20% of the workforce, especially in sectors such as retail, care and hospitality.

“We know that where work pays, living standards rise and reliance on benefits falls.

“This is the right thing to do and a Labour government will be committed to rebalancing our economy so that no one and no community is left behind.”
