More money in people’s pockets, an NHS that is fit for the future and a Britain that is rebuilt.
The Conservatives crashed the economy and left a £22 billion black hole.
Labour are taking the tough decisions now to fix the foundations, so we can rebuild Britain and make every part of the country better off.
Our plan to
