Keir Starmer said Scotland will be at the heart of his government.
Keir Starmer pledged Scotland and working people will be at the heart of his government's mission if he becomes the next prime minister.
He said Labour would increase the National Living Wage but later was unable to state what the new rate would be or what the current rate was.Just days into the campaign he said: I know there are people who wanted in the past to vote the Tories out but didn't vote Labour because they thought we couldn't win.On his first visit north of the border after Rishi Sunak called the election he said: "Scotland is central to the mission of the next Labour government.
During a question and answer with reporters, he did not give an answer to the question ‘what is the current National Living Wage rate?’.The Glasgow Times, asked: “What will the mandatory living wage be under Labour and how soon after July 5, when the votes are counted, will workers have to wait for a pay rise and can you remind us what the rate is just now?”
“Obviously there’s the individual rights but also if you look across fair pay agreements etc, that are proposed under the new deal for working people, for those that are poorly paid in fragmented sectors, like the care sector for example, it's hugely important to have fair pay agreements across the board.
