Tbh labour could have announced child labour and theyd still probably win
The children yearn for the mines
Too late, Tories already did that. Only its called national service
I mean... Kids have no right to vote, so... No opposition?
@@regularpineapple8918 long as they are given heavy machinary....
And starvation programmes/work houses
Doesn't matter what their manifesto is. They just have to tell people they're not Tories. People don't vote governments in, they vote them out.
Even when their policies will be the exact same once in power?
Talk about democracy...
That's absolutely true and also absolutely terrible.
When you're not voting for something rather than against something else.
Another lie from them though as Starmer made them Tories.
The problem is we will have to put up the another four years of destruction if these idiots get in.
@@SaintGerbilUK in any system where you vote directly for candidates, you will always for vote against and not for.
It's funny the Tories have devolved to ads that just go "do you want to hand Keith Starmer a blank check?" when Labour's most compelling argument is just that they aren't the Tories.
If Starmernomics is based on Bidenomics, it would come with about 9% inflation a year.
Pretty much a blank cheque.
"Labour's most compelling argument is just that they aren't the Tories."
I don't believe that's true, but even if it was, it would be enough for me.
People don't know what they are letting themselves in for with Labour đ

At this point, I highly doubt Labour even needs to conduct any campaigningâŠ
Our dear PM stated that he grew up without Sky TV, which I had zero comment.
And in the interview he left the d-day commemorations for, he apologised and said he would have left earlier if he could
Ohhh Ok I see, so despite what people say about Migration this that ....
You practically vote pro for it ... Hmmm and you ask me why do I wonder where you are today? When you do this ...
â@@bt3743he's not British I don't understand why people are surprised he doesn't give toss about such things that are important to British people.
The Tories aren't who they need to worry about, it's Reform UK
â @amh9494 And I guarantee you will complain about not getting what you want again ... After the election. Next election.
What then Poor me Sad me? Again? You are on the verge of getting something consistent done, but then you are going to throw it all away for a chance of something else?
What ever happened to hard working and consistency? Who stop building rail roads and stop working thus need for Migration? And you wonder why whats happening today.
It should be noted that a large part of the "green belt" isn't actually "green". So please people don't go crazy over that policy
Didn't labour say it'll be a new "gray belt"?
NIMBYs will go crazy over it no matter what.
@@fakename45 Nimby's are a scourge on the country. If they don't want to get along with the society in which they live - which includes allowing infrastructure to be built near them, then they can leave. Turbines, better roads new housing - all stuff they insist on getting in the way of because they feel entitled to not only their property, but the entire visible land around them too. Absolutely nuts.
The greenbelt is a scam anyway
So if we designate these tiny plots of land around urban city centers that are just green lawns and not nature or spots of particular beauty in areas of density that require houses, what could go wrong. It's green in lawn alone
Labour is pro Nuclear? Thats pretty epic honestlyyy
I'm generally more of a right wing guy, at least socially and in regards to migration. Though if I lived in the UK I'd probably actually vote Labour in this election. Their manifesto is the most common sense I've seen from any political party in a long time.
Labour is pro military. The conservatives National service plan is awful as it will collapse the NHS and MOD because they will have to babysit millions of teenagers. Labour plans to increase the defence budget. Which is needed.
Progress has a way of catching up with even the most backwards of political groups.
@@LordDoof their manifesto is a mix of things they want to do, things that they cant do, and things they just mention to increase their votes. they talk a lot about what they will do, but never how they will do it. the fact that you're a right-wing guy and you fell for it means its working.
@@LordDoof who's going to pay for all their plans? They're going to tax the hell out of us regardless of any progress they make
The most important bit of the entire manifesto is that a political party finally looks ready to confront the absurd building restrictions in this country.
If you could only make one change to try and massively improve this country, that'd be it. So many problems stem from us not being able to build things.
Building restrictions HA HA HA HA, The only thing farmers grow around here is houses.
Completely agree these building restrictions are ridiculous
@@nochops1781 Google Town and Country Planning Act
Don't need more houses. There are millions of vacant homes the rich keep vacant for investments, plus all the short term holiday rentals. Besides which it's the land that's scarce.

Just smashing NIMBYism I (aka reforming the planning system) will do us a world of good. Nothing get's built, nothing gets made, and then we complain why our growth is a big fat zero. Parts of our electorate are too entitled. They want cheap electricity, but the nuclear plant that makes it? Not in their backyard! Think of Chernobyl! Cheap housing AND rolling green meadows as far as the eye can see. Jobs a plenty but no noisy industry around no thank you!
I'm sure you'd be happy living next to a factory then?
After over paying for your house.
@@SaintGerbilUK Those are two separate problems - both of which need tackling. But you can't tackle the expensive housing problem if you can't build more housing, and you can't tackle the low productivity of the country by not building industry anywhere due to the noise. (You also really shouldn't be preventing anything from being built near you because you were scammed with your property price. That vindictive mindset is exactly why the roads are shit and there are no skilled jobs to be found.)
Interestingly, it would just take a reform of the noise laws that force the company to guarantee some level of peace to the neighbourhood (be it via noise walls, tree borders or other forms of dampening tech) and then that problem of yours would vanish. It can be done.
Those same things can be done to improve the visuals of an industrial unit - it doesn't need to look like some depressing soviet hangar. Visually interesting buildings that mesh into the area they are built would go a long way to integrate them.
There just has to be a will to actually make the country a nice place.
@@SaintGerbilUK I'd rather be living next to newly-built houses that since the TCPA of '47 haven't been allowed to be built exactly because of NIMBYism
It's not just Chernobyl, there are local examples in the UK of plants having serious problems too. The 20th century plants were made by cowboys, so there's a very good reason why people are sceptical.
Modern nuclear power is broadly safe - as long as you don't put it in an earthquake or flooding zone, and you make sure they're actually following proper procedure and plant building safety measures.
@@Capt.Thunder Even the ones in earthquake and flood zones are okay the bad examples are all cases where people didn't follow the safety procedures.
Manifestos are near pointless unless they are legally binding.
Agreed đ
I've always felt that parties should be legally bound to their pledges and an enquiry should be held at the end of their term to see if they did their bet to meet them. If not then they are heavily fined and prevented from standing for reelection. If there is no punishment then what's forcing them to try? If I was contracted to do 30 hrs of work a week for a ÂŁ500 and there was no punishment for me either not doing the job or simply not turning up then you can bet your arse I'd be at home with my feet up
The purpose of a manifesto is to be politically binding. Getting the courts involved in politics is not a good idea.
@@CheCheDaWaff "politcally binding" is a great oxymoron
@@CheCheDaWaff That relies on the thought that courts arenât already involved in politics.
"Using 'AI' to improve speed and accuracy"
God sake, throwing buzz words
Do the words "Strong and stable leadership" and "Long-Term Economic Plan" mean nothing to you?
@@bepisguy6963 just more buzz words. "long-term economic plan" is like saying "just wait a bit longer, i promise it will be worth it in the end." they'll call themselves strong and stable because they won't have 3 prime ministers resign in a row which is not something to be proud of.
Ai is mainly a buz word but diagnostics is one area that it can perform very in. There are a number of quite remarkable applications in use already
AI can help with overcoming he biases of doctors and patients alike.

Frankly right now I'd vote for Cthulu if I meant the tories out
Vote the tentacle
"We'll increase NHS appointment availability by trying to make staff work outside their contracted hours"
'Incentivise'. Specifically not 'make' - that is disinformation. If someone offers me a few extra hours at overtime rate, I'll take it.
"But we cannot say anything about increasing their salary, or even out of hours compensation"
I was happy when they mentioned they would reform the nhs but then they go on about ai and making them work outside their work hours???? what the fuck is their plan there
I'm a nurse in the NHS. I already work outside my contracted hours because I need the money. So that idea from Wes Streeting is rubbish.
Yeah this sounds like a horrible idea.
The reason NHS waiting lists are so high is a lack of manpower, the reason the NHS lacks manpower is because working for it sucks and all the doctors are leaving to go private.
This will make that worse and make the manpower shortage more accute.
i would vote labour purely for nationaising the railways there so expensive right now
Or atleast starting to.
Still got the rolling stock lease companies to deal with but those can be sorted out with time aka just buying stock either old stuff bound for scrap but still got life or brand new stock. Need our railways to be more like heritage lines actually owning trains.
This is a big thing for me. So is energy. These are the sole reasons i am voting Labour. Everything else in the manifesto is bland
Hmmmm and What else are they saying, ÂŁ350,000,000 a week to the nhs?
@@darrenmcgown1939 It is the net zero BS that is pushing energy prices up. Voting Labour will only push energy prices even higher.
@@kevinh4869Reform want to privatise the NHS
So essentaily, Labour does have a plan
*robotic cartoon frog voice*
"But he simply doesn't have a plaaahn!"
The only manifesto with detailed policy plans. Lib Dem manifesto was similar but lacked detail and was even further to the left (odd since Lib Dem are supposed to be centrists). Tory manifesto was just stirring up hate and fearmongering about Starmer. Reform manifesto ... lol.
Funny that
đđđđ
Haha we will see the only true party is reform you will see by next election when weâve got 1 million migrants a year. Labour and the tories are a fucking joke and have been for years.
Anyone else seen the crazy amount of reform bots on TikTok?

Thanks đ
Running on the not sunak manifesto. Solid plan
I feel bad for you guys across the pond who have to deal with the next 10,000 years of parties running on this platform and nothing else, because they just started the trend.
At least by launching a manifesto devoid of ambition it's going to be difficult, even for Starmer, to break too many more promises.
đ€Ł He'll show you just how easy it is for him to break promises.
They say under promise and over deliver. I fear Sir Keir is going for under promise and under deliver.
Say you haven't read the manifesto without reading the manifesto.
Change "tough on crime" to "tough on corporate crime" and get rid of the AI nonsense, Keir.
The ai nonsense could be a way of growing the economy to put more money into social services... allow it.
Him going on like Nixon about crime is defo a fault though.
Why do you support violent crime?
So I see why Labour waited for Tories and Lib Dem to release their manifestos. Labour manifesto is actually heavy on actual policy, and light on Tory fearmongering. This just really ensures Starmer is going to have a big majority.
The lack of HS2 and its extension to Scotland in the manifesto is disappointing.
Do you have any idea how expensive that would be
â@sirgo0se97 It's cheaper than the cost of immigration...
Whoâs going to pay for it?
All these dumbtards saying "whos gonna pay for it" dont understand how lucrative for the economy it will be. Elizabeth line extension is well on the way to payong for itself
@@mikefish8226 thatâs just⊠objectively wrong lol. Find me a reputable source saying that immigration has cost us at least ÂŁ66 billion, let alone the several times greater price that would mean going up to Scotland.
I don't think zero hour contracts should be banned, but they should be improved. They helped me out immensely while I was in Uni.
I think they should be banned and recruitment agencies should be banned too. Employers should be incentivised to hire their own members of staff. Employees should be incentivised to work by getting help with being able to buy a house if they prove to be a good worker within a company like rather than having a 10% mortgage make it 5% or something like that. Companies benefit because they have a reliable workforce and don't need to lose money overpaying to greedy recruitment agencies. Employees benefit because they have job security and more affordable housing. Housing associations benefit because those houses are going to those who have stability and can afford the payments
It's actually a reasonable manifesto that isn't tied down heavily to ideological goals.
LOL as an nz and British citizen living in Australia, this mostly just looks like a cut and paste of New Zealand and Australian labour party policy to me. Unfortunately not much has been delivered downunder
a non-ideological party XD, that means they are just status quo neo-liberals. But because you see the status quo as non-ideological you think it isn't ideological
Government involved with the economy won't really solve it. In American Biden has blow up inflation, and only thing keeping the stock market up is government money.
VAT in education? Won't raise any money. Just close schools and reduce choice.
There is one thing that they should do, and that's deal with Brexit. It's the biggest elephant in the room that few, if any are addressing.
Lib Demâs were taking about it. They want to rejoin the EU
Even if they wanted to, it is unlikely that the EU would reconsider at this time. First, they would have to be persuaded that the next government would not simply reverse the position again. We can't do the hokey-cokey with EU membership. In any case, the re-admission process would take years and years. It absolutely could not happen in the lifetime of this parliament.
Sorry to let reality intrude on your dreams (and mine) !
They'd be daft to mention their view in Brexit either way, or they'll lose votes. Too much of a hot potato.
Bregret, Brejoin
Lib dems have made their stance clear on brexit
Honestly I'm satisfied. There's some great stuff in there, like Nationalising railways and improvements in house building and mental health, as well as not demonising nuclear power.
Some is quite disappointing or underwhelming, like no mention of Brexit, food poverty or taxing the rich.
But overall it's more than I was thinking expecting given how lukewarm and playing down the Labour campaign has been.
Tl;dr: much more ambitious than I had thought, but the bar was very low. Still incredibly unambitious and daring for what the country needs. But hopefully it's a gradual step in the right direction. Breaking away from the far right will take many years, so even tugging us back to the centre is a start.
Absolutely, but I hope they keep their promises
The far right đ
Shame they didnt tax the rich. Its not a tax on ambition its a tax on greed.
Starmer is trying to pull in centrists and fair weather Tory voters. He's going to keep any Brexit plans close to his chest since they likely answer is a referrendum to rejoin the EU, I suspect in the 2nd half of his government's term, but groundwork behind the scenes will start in advance.
I don't think "unambitious" is the right word, I think it's "realistic". This is a manifesto that is completely deliverable, just imagine how much overall trust in politics will improve if in 5 years time Labour can point to most/every line in this manifesto and say "we achieved it".
Are you guys going to be covering the green party manifesto?
Please do a video on Count Binface and his manifesto
@TLDR News will there be a video on the Green Party manifesto? (Came out before Labourâs)?
As long as Starmer isn't Sunak, I think Labour has a shot.
Tbh they did it very cleverly. The no theatrics, no chaos just sensible costed policies approach is exactly what the people need to hear after 5+ years of chaos.
Helps that it actually is a sensible collection of policies
Except it's not acc costed.
Going off of the final projected year of revenue and spending (ie 2028-2029) assumes a whole bunch of things in the 4-5 years leading up to it.
They're setting themselves up for failure and broken pledges, and just blame it on 'fiscal constraint'
The building reform thing is probably THE most important thing for Britain
Never though i'd see the day where I prefer a Lib Dem manifesto to a Labour one...sigh...
What's wrong with it?
@@polarisnorth4875 Starmer is going too centrist for some people, what Labour need to do is find a balance between Starmer and Corbyn
@@okaymuscian4466 "Centrist"? That 'tough on crime' policy is some Thatcher shit. They shouldn't even call themselves a Labour party at this point. Centre-right at best.
@@eerbrevwhy would anybody ever not want to be tough on criminals? What possible voting demographic wants a government soft on crime other than actual criminals?
â@@sirsurnamethefirstofhisnam7986because a focus on rehabilitation is proven to work far better than more Draconian systems. It'll also perpetuate stuff like the war on drugs that frankly hasn't worked. Try and put people into situations that don't lead to crime rather than networking with other criminals.
Remember that even though it's basically a guatanteed win for Labour, still go out and vote. We don't want idle voters weakening Labour's majority in parlament.
Labour has been too complacent with all the tory mishaps. Imo the ideal outcome is they win by as small a majority as possible. They need to know their votes aren't guaranteed come the next election, and they have to actually work to earn votes from the people
I'd rather not have transphobes in power.
Yes you should go out and vote for an actual leftist candidate rather than Starmers Labour
All I heard was more spending but how are they gonna finance it?
Glad I'm not the only one who noticed that.
Same old bullshit from yet another politician on yet another day. "We're going to put another ÂŁ10 billion into sector X and another 10,000 staff into industry Y". Sir, where the hell are you going to find either of those things? Going to wave your magic wand and make them appear out of thin air?
1:25 when TLDR just TLDR
All politicians promise big reform on the campaign trail the difference is seeing who actually delivers on it
I feel like their more âextraâ policies will come or be announced once they have office
This is a realy good manifesto. Appeals to the left and centre ground, and is achievable within one term.
Im old enough to remember when Labour messed it up the first time. And here for Conservative messing it up the second time. Neither party is the answer. This red tie blue tie illusion need to go. Time to vote for reform
Really disappointed with the Manifesto, but, as ever with Starmer, Iâm not surprised.
They tried the promising super ambitious manifesto in 2019 and it went horribly. Reality is the UK has a lot of voters who bought into the narrative that taxes are bad and big spending is reckless. That narrative can't be changed all of a sudden. But I wouldn't despair, their priority areas and some of the specifics are actually very good, and there is some good talent on the Labour front benches. I do wish it could move quicker but I'm quite optimistic about the direction. They are also the only ones with a decent housing policy.
What are you missing?
â@@ActuallyJamesSthe idea that taxes are bad and austerity is good, but private rail is bad and the NHS is good makes up the type of uninformed voter base thats hell for any government
â@@kevinh4869he's a fan of the hammer and sickle.

Letâs not do revisionist history, its just not true that it went poorly they just didnât win because of the existence of lib dems splitting the left vote as always.
The left has been winning forever in the uk, something the upper class would like you to not notice please.
With a ranked voting system a right wing government would never again occur.
Thanks for this video, it's nice you just present facts without spin. Makes it easier to figure out who and what I agree with.

And the rest.
that's actually pretty detailed to be honest. al they needed to do is stay on the fence and say platitudes but they are actually making sensible commitments here
I suspect the reason the Conservatives weren't do most of this is that it didn't benefit their mates. Vote Labour đđŒâđŒïžđđ
Maybe a law restricting the amount of properties Private Landlords can rent out at once?
This would stop those âLTD companiesâ owned by one landlord that make money solely off renting out properties at prices higher than mortgage rates to those less fortunate.

It could even crash the property market a la 2008 depending on how extreme you go

The only thing in this that I am unsure about is the use of AI in NHS diagnostics, but I am also aware that AI is being tested in the NHS already to see if it works out, and last I heard the results were not back on that yet, so I am going to assume that this is an optimistic policy and will be reviewed later with the NHS.

But I'll definitely take it as it would be a good platform for more change in the future.

And, yes, I'm aware that's a lot of "change" in my comment, not intentional đ

What plans did Tories have when they went into Brexit pools?
Tories didn't follow their manifesto which they published in 2019.
BTW Labour manifesto is sound realistic.
Amazing video vote labour for massive change. đ
The Manifesto has been in the making for 2 years, being ready for an election at any time since Boris' downfall. As such it is probably the most well-prepared and carefully-worded. A lot of the manifesto leaves vagueness and a lot of open answers that don't constrict what Labour will do to achieve their manifesto goals. If you bare that in mind, look at what they've said on less vocal stages, you can tie that in with what Andrew Marr said on The New Statesmen in which he is in touch with Labour folk who want to 'be bolder' if they get a big majority. Something along those lines. Perhaps it's wishful thinking, but it should be noted that any time Labour come to power, they always plan to under promise but over deliver. Their manifesto is good in my biased opinion but it's quite telling to me that all signs so far point to them simply appeasing the disillusioned Tory voter and swing voters who they need to win before doing the real work needed to achieve their goals. An example of this is in their economic plans. They have been very specific in ruling out taxes that impact the lower and middle income families, but refuse to promise no additional taxes that would target the upper classes and ultra-wealthy. This was quite nicely pointed out by Beth Rigby in the Starmer vs Sunak debate on Sky the other night, where Starmer said that such aimed taxes are not in their plans, to which Beth responded how the phrase 'not in the plan' usually means it's at least considered in political speak.
Best manifesto yet. We deserve a government that can build homes, power our cities, allow everyone the opportunity to work, thrive and contribute, invest in British companies and businesses, and direct more bright brains to cities like Manchester, Leeds, Birmingham.
The manifesto just saying that they're going to do that doesn't mean they're tackling the core of the issues. I predict that they'll fail to fully implement some of their more "left wing" policies because they don't address how a lot of institutions simply need more funding, and will shrug and say that they tried.

@@priceless073 honestly same voted labour in 2019 but I just see labour as almost the same as the tories... we really need electoral reform and finally to get rid of first past the post
What was the song called they played at the end of the live event ???
Things can only get better.
this has Mariana Mazzucatto written all over it.
Its a lukewarm manifesto designed not to scare off voters, hopefully thry get a little more progressive once in power
Good luck, that didn't happen with Labor here in Aus
Rail nationalisation alone is pretty big and should help practically everyone.
They'll get more conservative once they're in power, they'll abandon most promises.
@@2dradon2 Yeah? Didn't the IFS do a study on that? Full nationalisation of rail will reduce the averge ticket price by... 6 pence?
@@0w784g depends on the journey and time but there will be reductions across the board. Some figures show its 2.2bn a year for tax payers. But we need to make sure we reinvest. Not only that, it could fix the issue of having to need 10 different tickets just to travel from the North to the South. Its also a personal opinion that trains shouldn't be privatised as you can't even decide on competition. If I want to go from A to B, I may only have 1 option. I am aware it won't solve every issue but it feels like the right thing to do.
But how will they pay for it... I see tax rises, or stagnation (rise in real terms). Tax gouging on the highest tax rises by charging VAT on private schooling and nurseries.
Who doesn't love labour â€
While moderate on the surface, the changes being made are actually fundamental and extraordinary. Simple in the design, but elegant in their potency. It redistributes power, alligns business interests with government interests not the other way around, and seeks a new infrastructural revolution primarilly by reforming the structure and role of the government in huge ways.
Its just a shame that most people cannot realise how huge these changes really are, nor how powerful they may be in the coming years.
So labour is playing chess five moves ahead?

HS2 is public infrastructure. It doesn't require planning permission. The planning process is a highly important element of the sustainability development of rural Britain
Thanks to HS2, countless ancient woodlands have been destroyed. This project was unsustainable and environmentally harmful from the start.
Looks like I really upset some people with this one. These are some of the most brain dead comments I've ever read. đđ
@@BearHeadedWerewolfbs, and you know it. HS2 is silly for other reasons, âAncient woodlandsâ pffff⊠would you ban sheep since they are the single largest destroyers of woods in the UK?
@@BearHeadedWerewolf Every piece of infrastructure has at some point destroyed natural land, that's just how it works and the capacity of a high speed rail line would be far greater in the space required than the many lanes of road that would be required. Why wasn't this argument made for every motorway ever built and every expansion since? HS2 will have far less environmental impact than these. But the car industry has a far greater lobbying capacity and we've seen it for decades with trams, trolley buses and rail systems being ripped up all over the UK and even moreso in the US which has become a car dominated hell hole
â@@MrSpritzmeister are sheeps building mega infrastructures with taxpayers money?
â@@BearHeadedWerewolfSo you think that instead of railways we should have more roads and cars, that need more woodland cut down and churn out greenhouse gasses?
Banning zero hour contracts will be circumvented by 1 hour contracts.
atleast one gets 10 quid.
It's also just stupid. Like I guess I understand the point, but I've worked on zero hour contract since I was 14 (yes went through all that paperwork), now 20. So 7 years (minus covid tbf so more like 5) I've been able to get jobs and work easily around school etc. Ban zero hour contracts and that would have been an absolute nightmare, it puts the barrier to entry at working at younger ages so much higher. Whats the point in your local coffee shop's potwash spending hours drafting up a contract so they can have one 16 year old in on Saturdays. As opposed to I don't know... A ZERO HOUR CONTRACT? Like in themselves they're actually really quite useful, also means that I could just tell the kitchen staff when I was 16, sorry, can't work this week, my parents want to go out somewhere - and it's all good.
Zero hours contracts shouldn't be the only option employers offer. Trying to pay rent and buy food when you don't know if you can afford to eat is a nightmare. I have been there, it's awful. Even 16 hours gives you stability. But for students and people who don't have bills to pay, 0 hr contracts offer flexibility.
People gotta understand that every party will say these things but literally none of them will ever follow through
Where is the classic labour party at? Where is my national housing service (akin to the national health service but for housing) that is completely paid for via taxes so no one spends money on housing out of pocket? Council rates or property tax can determine how big my house will be. How about national utility service too so everyone can heat their homes without paying for it, except through taxes? Does the real labour party with labour (working class) in mind still exist?
You want free housing for all? Allocated at birth? What if someone wants to move. But they still pay council tax to determine the size / quality of house. So council tax is...... rent.
What level do you think taxes would be if includes everything already does + housing + utilities
How much of other people's money would sate you?
ââ@@danielwebb8402 you'd probably just have to register that you're moving and why and where you want to move? also funny that you cry about "other people's money" when landlords are bleeding people dry at extortionate prices.
@AmonTheWitch
So once the government have approved your reason for moving (wow) they magic up a new house? Take it off somebody else they make move so can allocate it to you?
@@danielwebb8402 no? they'd tell you if a home is available and if not you can't move? idk what's so difficult to understand about that? it already works that way in reality
@@danielwebb8402 I'm sure you could build your own home too but if you want a free home that's how it's gonna go
Iâm voting Green. Thatâs where any Labour voters who have a modicum of interest in sorting inequality should go. Starmer has beaten any remotely socialist views out of anyone left in his party. Very sad.
Problem with the greens is the leadership is barmy
Random question from an American here, and this may be slightly ignorant so apologies if it's a bit odd, how would one be able to get paper copies of each party's manifestos? Kind of want to get copies of them following this election
I mean, you could print them yourself, they're all available as pdfs. But it would be a lot of printing.
These videos have been incredibly informative and will help so many people make their voting decision. Thank you.
It should just say, 'ask Anthony Blair'.
Was thinking of voting reform but this manifesto changed my mind.
Will Labour's plans actually come to fruition in 5 years though? In their manifesto they mention long-term strategies but unless they win voters over in the short term they will just have their long-term projects axed. They need a few stimulus-style short-term strategies to help people who are dealing with the current cost of living crisis, they can't wait 3+ years for energy and food prices to come down.
The last time Labour made a promise to Scotland was in 2014. We're still waiting on it being delivered. They're no better than the Tory party and will lie to have their way.
How about the mass migration?
Labour could announce that the UK is opening its borders and giving free Visas to everyone in India, Pakistan and Nigeria and they would STILL win đcry bout it
It does mention it. They say they want to break the dependence on migrant labour by training workers from the UK. They want to reform the points-based visa system so it's better linked to skills policy. And better enforcement against employers that abuse visas.
So they're at least saying they will do something about it. But not anything as extreme as having hard caps on immigration.
â@Psyk60 Having a cap on immigration isn't extreme. What is extreme, is the level of immigration.
On immigration, since this is the importation of future Labour voters, they will keep it as high as they can get away with.
they're gonna ban knives and hope that will fix it(it won't)
Can't wait to see Labour Govt in UK and Sir Keir Starmer as it's Prime Minister
Oh my god the first policy is such a breath of fresh air idc how watered down it gets. To hear that the government might soon give a flying fig about regional areas (maybe council funding???) gets me excited
Energy efficiency in homes is key for the energy transition but clash with building more, the guidelines for that need to be less bureaucratic, not more. Apart from that seems a reasonable and feasible manifesto, something rarely seen on politics
2:31 oh no, wait, anything but that
Cry more.
