@saw6386 This is all nonsense. It didn't happen when the minimum wage was introduced: and similar (Tory) arguments were then being ranged against it.
Anyway - how do YOU know what people will treat themselves to? A coffee is far more affordable than a holiday. Everything is expensive nowadays (and maybe not that good quality). But if coffee shops, chain or otherwise, weren't sufficiently popular to make their existence worthwhile, they wouldn't have mushroomed over every high street in Britain.
And as for holidays - I really don't know what you are arguing here! Nothing very well thought out. 😏 You didn't mention for example that a foreign holiday would take most of that money out of the UK: whereas a staycation might bring that money to for example, Cornwall, where I live! 🙂 (We need it, thank you very much!)
And I know what it is like to have to manage on a small income, and to try to avoid luxuries for most of the time, and to save most of my income for groceries or bills, because I am on ESA disability benefit! And I am sure that Corbyn very much understands the lives of his constituents who are on low incomes, too! Why do you think he got reelected?
