Is John Healey's 3.9% increase in the minimum wage an unaffordable burden on business? With me in the studio to discuss this are a £99,000 a year Tory MP, a £200,000 a year rightwing journalist and a chief executive on the average FTSE-100 salary of £5.0m.
I think millennials are having a factory reset.
Nobody wants their career. Nobody wants corporate culture. Nobody wants another fucking productivity app.
We just want a little house, some hobbies, financial security and to be left the fuck alone.

Clement Attlee founded the NHS, built record numbers of council houses, nationalised Housing, Power, Rail, Energy, Steel, Fossil Fuel and employed more than 2m people in 5 years all with the greatest debt the UK had ever had.
And the economy boomed and debt fell.
We need to talk more about what Gen X and older millennials have been through financially. They survived the 2008 recession, spent years rebuilding, got hit by a pandemic, and then watched housing, groceries, insurance, and everyday expenses become increasingly unaffordable. Now it’s 2026, and people in their 40s and 50s are trying to save for retirement while still catching up on financial milestones they expected to reach a decade ago. At some point, we have to acknowledge that an entire generation has spent much of its adult life recovering from one economic crisis after another.
Sainsbury's has posted an annual profit of £1.02bn.
It current has 10,000 young people working for free, paid by you.
With £1.02bn it could hire 105,905 people aged 18-20 for 16 hours a week all year.
Why not MAKE the scumbags hire instead of giving them free workers?
