Campaigners demand action as London workers struggle for real living wage

Outer borough of Haringey tops UK league for low-paid jobs relative to local cost of living

Campaigners have demanded higher pay for social care workers in the capital, as new analysis put the outer London borough of Haringey at the top of the UK league for jobs paying below the real living wage.

As inflation hit its highest level for 41 years, protesters from the community campaign group Citizens UK gathered outside a Haringey care home, run by the private chain Barchester Healthcare, to call for a real living wage for care staff.
