‘I’ll make £12.24 an hour – I live payday to payday’
On Wednesday the chancellor will give an update on her plans for the economy.
The government has promised to boost growth, which should mean higher pay, more jobs, and more spending on services such as the NHS, education and transport.
Rachel Reeves will share the latest official outlook, which is expected to say the UK economy will grow 1% this year, rather than the previously forecast 2%.
And she will have to explain how she intends to tackle the big challenges facing her when she delivers her Spring Statement.
Those challenges are also being felt on the ground, in people’s everyday lives.
