at all it's shrinkage what is that to boast about people's incomes are coming down i saw someone on social media say that although some wages were going up the benefit was being wiped out by the higher costs of petrol energy food and so on and absolutely you can put it like that in a nice simple way that is easily understood you don't have to show people a spreadsheet but i still favor the cold hard maths on this because in theory someone could say oh yeah you know where you know petrol is going up and energy is going up it's going up a lot and uh you know and food's going up but our wages are going up so it'll all be fine it all work out it's like no you need to actually know what the values are here um they're not but they could be in some people's minds but no if you want to take the prime minister's advice and judge him on the metric of wage growth go ahead because that metric shows a NUMBER_TOKEN increase to wages for the last NUMBER_TOKEN years of the last conservative government a NUMBER_TOKEN increase to wages for labour and a NUMBER_TOKEN wage cut during the conservatives timing power and when i do this figure next year be even worse and it will just carry on getting worse if he wants to stick that on the campaign leaflets he can be my guest i somehow i don't think he'll want to but if i were labour on the other hand i'd absolutely be sticking NUMBER_TOKEN wage growth in real terms under the last labour government NUMBER_TOKEN wage cuts in real terms under the tories which do you want to vote for bang that on a leaflet and stick it through the door but those are my thoughts let me know yours in the comments below i hope you found the video interesting if you did don't forget to click the like button if you like support the channel further please also click the patreon link for details and until next time i'll see you later
