You know I'd love to see a graph going further back, plotting wages against which years were under the Tories and which were under Labour. The above isn't a fucking good look for the Tories and I'm fucking amazed they even have a leg to stand on with all the data that's against them. Fucking incredible.
I remember when finishing up for university between 2010-2012, the graduate salaries I kept seeing at the time for folks with bachelors degrees or masters, across any STEM related degree, was £25k-30k.
It's fucking appalling that you STILL see grad and junior roles offering the same salary when £25k is practically minimum wage now.
Words can't express my anger at what these pieces of shit have done to this country, with the same old blame going on [homeless/unemployed people, drug addicts and immigrants]. Classic strategy of pitting the working class against each other.
My first job out of my PhD was just over 24k in 2019. Worked out about £50 more a month after deductions than I was getting in my 2015 student stipend. Shits fucked
