I want every young person to get the opportunities they need to thrive.
That's why we're taking bold action to deliver 100,000 more apprenticeships a year.
🧵Here's how we'll do this 👇
1/6
Since 2010, we have revolutionised our apprenticeship system, delivering over 5.8 million starts, now with nearly 70% of occupations covered by apprenticeships.
But we want to go further to ensure the next generation have the security of a high-quality career.
2/6
That's why we have a clear plan to deliver 100,000 more apprenticeships a year by the end of the next Parliament.
We will pay for this by cracking down on rip-off degrees that make students poorer, saving £910 million by 2029-30.

Introducing National Service. Wondering how it will improve your or your child’s future?
Here are the five things you need to know 👇
🧵 1/6
Every 18-year-old will get the choice of how they do their National Service.
Deciding to either serve their country in the Armed Forces or serve their community by volunteering.

This bold new model will open up a world of opportunity.
It will make sure young people in the UK get the same chance in life as their peers in allies like Sweden, Norway, Denmark and France - which have all recently introduced or announced new forms of national service.

Anti-social behaviour is more than just a nuisance - it ruins communities.
In March we launched an Action Plan to stamp it out, making our streets safer and building a better future for our children and grandchildren – and it’s working.
Action taken so far 👇🧵
❌ From 8 November nitrous oxide, also called laughing gas, will be illegal.
We won't tolerate intimidation on our streets, or children’s play areas being littered with empty nitrous oxide canisters.
✅ We’ve provided over 30,000 hours of extra uniformed police patrols in ‘hotspot’ areas.
That’s on top of delivering our 2019 commitment to recruit 20,000 more police officers across England and Wales.
