But if you are unemployed in the UK and relying on benefits to survive, if you try to negotiate salary and get turned down for a job offer your benefits will be sanctioned and you will have to rely on food banks for X weeks until the sanction expires, so negotiating on salary becomes a very risky proposition.

Studies have claimed this has a negligible effect on wages, but I find it hard to believe.
