Minimum wage to rise in Reeves’ first budget

Available for over a year

The government has announced on the eve of Labour’s first budget in 14 years that the National Living Wage will be increased. We hear from Shevaun Haviland, the British Chambers of Commerce’s director-general, on what this could mean for employers. Also in the programme: staffers and subscribers are protesting against The Washington Post’s decision not to endorse a candidate in the presidential election, one week before America votes. We speak to a former head of the Oregon Hospice Association about why she went from opposing to supporting the right to assisted dying. And Buena Vista Social Club musician Manuel "Guajiro" Mirabal has died at the age of 91. We speak to producer Nick Gold about Mirabal’s music and the group’s legacy.
