There is a clear choice in the local and European elections. There are parties who put the narrow interests of a few before the national interest. We in the Labour Party act in the interest of the many and not the few.
- End rip off rents so tenants can plan for the future with new long-term, predictable tenancies.
- Cut income tax with a lower 10p starting tax rate, but reintroduce the 50p top rate of tax as we pay off the deficit in a fair way.
- Make work pay by strengthening the Minimum Wage and providing tax breaks to firms who pay a Living Wage.
- Back small businesses by cutting business rates and reforming the banks.
- Help working parents by providing 25 hours free childcare for 3 and 4 year-olds.
- Tackle youth unemployment with a job guarantee and more apprenticeships.
