Funnily enough, a lot of the reasons are recycled from when the NMW was introduced in 1998. John Major's conservative government argued this profusely throughout the 1997 general election campaign. Although the majority of Tories now agree that NMW was the right decision.
They managed then, and they'll manage again if Labour come to government next May. My only criticism is that we need this now - not in 2020.
