National Labour Policy: A better future for Britain

Get Britain building again

Following strict rules that strengthen public finances and by reforming planning laws, so we build more houses, giga factories, windfarms, roads, labs and ports, developing the skills needed to do so.

A Labour Government will:

Take tough decisions to restore economic stability and secure our economy.
Reduce energy bills and invest in the jobs and industries of the future via our Green Prosperity Plan and Great British Energy, a new publicly owned clean generation company.
Build more homes and help first time buyers with ‘first dibs’ on new homes in their area.

Switch on Great British Energy

Switching on Great British Energy, a new publicly owned, clean energy company, that ensures jobs are created here in Britain and that we aren’t dependent on tyrants like Putin.

A Labour Government will:

Create Great British Energy, a new publicly-owned clean power generation company to cut your energy bills and deliver good jobs.
Cut your energy bill for good – making families up to £1,400 better off a year.
Create 500,000 new, skilled jobs in the industries of the future, rebuilding the strength of our industrial heartlands.
Deliver energy security so we’re not dependent on dictators like Putin.

Get the NHS back on its feet

Paying doctors and nurses overtime to work evenings and weekends to cut the backlog – paid for by ending the non-dom tax break for the very wealthy.

A Labour government will:

Cut waiting times by giving the NHS the staff and technology it needs.
End the 8am scramble for GP appointments and giving patients a choice of appointments in person or on the phone.
Improve cancer survival rates and reduce deaths from heart disease and suicide.
More care in the community so patients aren’t stuck in hospital.

Take back our streets

Guaranteeing town centre police patrols in every community to tackle gangs, drug dealers and fly tippers – paid for by cutting outside contractors and waste.

A Labour government will:

Put 13,000 more neighbourhood police and PCSOs on our streets.
Halve violence against women and girls, and tougher sentences for rapists.
Introduce new ‘Respect Orders’, a tough new order with criminal sanctions for antisocial behaviour.

Break down barriers to opportunity

Introducing free school breakfast clubs and more high quality teaching with more specialist maths and science teachers – paid for by removing tax breaks for private schools and non-doms.

A Labour government will:

Create a modern childcare system with breakfast clubs in every primary school to give children the best start.
Make sure there’s a world class teacher in every classroom, recruiting 6,500 new staff, paid for by ending tax breaks for private schools.
Introduce a broader curriculum, developing creativity, digital and speaking skills that ensure young people leave school ready for work and ready for life.
Expand apprenticeships and skills training to spread opportunity for all.
