It’s Hallowe’en. The turnip-man’s lopped head
Blazes at us through split bottle glass
And fumes and swims up like a wrecker’s lantern.
Death mask of harvest, mocker at All Souls
With scorching smells, red dog’s eyes in the night
We ring and stare into unhallowed light.

Pleased to announce that as of today, London’s Living Wage will increase to £10.85.

This will help thousands of workers receive the pay they deserve.

I’m proud that City Hall is a #LivingWage employer. If you’re a business, this is how you can become one too:
