Real wages have fallen further in the UK than any other G7 country under Cameron

Cameron is the worst British PM for living standards in recorded history

An analysis of figures from the Office for National Statistics out today show that David Cameron has been in Downing Street for 36 months of falling real wages – more than any Prime Minister on record.

No other British PM has seen so many consecutive months of falling real wages, where the annual rise in wages is lower than the rate of inflation.

Prices have risen faster than wages in all but one month since May 2010 – in April 2013 when he cut taxes for millionaires and bank bonuses soared.

Over the last three years since this Government came to office, no other G7 country has seen workers’ incomes in real terms fall by as much as the UK.
