The party set out its policies in Manchester this morning
The Labour Party has revealed its general election manifesto, promising to grow the economy, cut NHS waiting lists and bring down energy bills with a new state-owned clean power company. Sir Keir Starmer was joined by his top team at the Co-op headquarters in Manchester city centre to unveil the 133-page document on Thursday .
Nigel Farage's Reform UK will release its 'contract with the people' in full on June 17. George Galloway's Workers Party of Britain has already published its manifesto. To cut energy bills, Labour has said it would set up a state-owned clean power company called GB Energy. The party has also promised to invest an extra £6.6bn over five years to upgrade five million homes, cutting their energy bills.
As part of a new Dentistry Rescue Plan, 700,000 more urgent dental appointments would be created with new dentists recruited to areas that need them most. A supervised tooth-brushing scheme for 3 to 5-year-olds would also be introduced, targeting the areas of the highest need as part of a shift to focusing on prevention of ill-health.
According to the manifesto, Labour would end the long-term reliance on overseas workers in some parts of the economy by bringing in workforce and training plans for sectors such as health and social care, and construction. Labour also pledges to go after criminal gangs with hundreds of new investigators, intelligence and police officers.
