Lidl has become the UK’s joint-highest-paying supermarket in terms of hourly pay, with wages of £12.85 an hour in London, as it aims to recruit Wilko staff who are set to lose their jobs.

Those working inside the M25 will see their pay rise from £11.95 per hour to £12.85, while those elsewhere will be paid £11.40, up from £11.
