Labour's emerging manifesto

in #politics • 5 years ago

Well, Labour's promises seem to include:

  • creating a mandatory 32-hour working week,
  • increasing the minimum wage to £10 ph,
  • abolishing prescription charges,
  • boosting spending on health and education (of course),
  • offering free personal care to anyone over sixty five that needs it,
  • abolishing university fees,
  • increasing marginal rates of tax for the 'very rich' (not sure about the threshold).

These are pretty attractive policies, in my opinion, and certainly outbid the Tories, who are offering a bit more spending on NHS and police and tweaking the thresholds on NI and tax (for the higher rate) and cutting stamp duty.
