If people had access to decent social housing, education and healthcare, then people do not need high wages. The US has high wages, but their costs of housing, healthcare and education are off the scale, so you wonder what is the benefit of high wages

The wages in the Personal Services-Leisure Retail Sector (catering and restaurants-bars) along with Agriculture and we know now HGV Drivers was artificially low because of the import of Slavic and Southern labour. The wage rates in the technical sectors of construction and maintenance, which actually is high value, was also depressed because of the so called F-reedom of Movement from notably Poland and Hungary. The classic rules of economics in these sectors mean that employers set prices by competing with others and they take advantage of surplus labour to lower wages. So if there is a shortage of labour wages will rise and this eats into profits because the company still has to set competitive prices. A huge chunk of the 'leisure-retail' businesses will go to the wall – the multitude of KostaLotta Koffee Bars because their business model is based on Benefits Subsidies from the tax payers, ie the better off working class.
As for the EU's freedom of Movement, well I never met a brit working in a bar in Vilnius nor a UK Electrician in Budapest. In fact the UK ahs the highest EU Nationals ex-pat population in Europe, with 6.5m wanting right to remain.

higher wages? it wont matter when the council & government come to swoop in like vultures demanding ridiculous amounts in Tax. You will basically be on the same as you are now they will see to it that you dont start suddenly climbing the social ladder

Average house price in 1908 was £21000 but today is £230000. Maybe we can afford houses in the future.

In the victorian era,the upper class had 100x more than 3rd class
Today, the top 1% make 300x more than THE AVERAGE wage. Not even the lowest. They earn in 1 day almost the average yearly salary
You do not need an entire system overhaul to deal with that

You will not get a high wage this is bs, it will never happen to many greedy bosses, sucking the life out of you for little money, only good for the rich the rest of us all struggle, I was on more money in late 1990s ans early 2000 than I am now doing the same job it all smoke and mirrors.

More wages more spending =cash back into the economy. However there won't be a wage increase with Boris, not with interest rates, high utilities and possible monthly health care Insurance, any increase will be cancelled out.
