Wow. Labour announce a windfall tax on the big polluters to create a million skilled jobs in renewable energy, insulating homes, reforesting the country and making new electric vehicles.
We either let the climate emergency destroy us - or we build a new society #LabourManifesto

That nurses who look after our sick, teachers who educate our children, firefighters who risk their lives for us have been punished for the bankers' crash with real terms pay cuts is a national disgrace.
So Labour's commitment to restore their pay is a big deal. #LabourManifesto

Young people are currently punished with debt for daring to dream of a university education that all of society benefits from.

Our rail system is a total disaster - but we talk way too little about buses, which are a rip-off, unreliable mess in most places.

But this is a courageous, transformative manifesto which would transform lives and build a new society. Let's fight for it. #LabourManifesto

To be fair, Labour have promised to establish a Royal Commission to develop a public health approach to drugs.
We should just adopt Portugal's amazingly successful decriminalisation of drugs. But clearly Labour are promising to shift in that direction #LabourManifesto
