The minimum wage is too blooming high. There's loads of incompetent idiots loading up on it. Take anyone on less than say 25k out of income tax altogether. Not only would they spend it they would HAVE to spend it. Raise IT rates for middle earners and re-instate the 45p rate. We don't pay even 40% but would happily pay say another grand a year if we could see a quack or a copper now and again. Another £20.00 a week isn't going to hurt us.
