The final theme reflects the party’s single-word electoral slogan, with a campaign framed around offering a change from 14 years of Conservative government.

The pledge to boost Britain’s status as a ‘clean energy superpower’ is backed by the party’s long planned public energy company GB Energy, securing energy independence and promising warmer homes to tackle fuel poverty.

Labour’s plans for economic growth include planning reforms for 1.5 million new homes, a National Wealth Fund and a New Deal for Working People.

Promises to break down barriers in opportunity are backed by pledges to recruit new expert teachers, bring in free breakfast clubs for every primary school and supply high quality apprenticeships.
