While the budget offered a boost to the minimum wage & a smaller rise in universal credit levels (as well as some shifts in UC sanctions), the model for dealing with workplace-related economic inequality remains broadly in place.... which, perhaps at this stage in a new Parliament is understandable, even if actually its a system that really doesn't work well for anyone, other than the low-wage firms govt. policy is effectively subsidising.
