Took a bit of time on lunch to look up Labour's proposal for Government.
They're certainly proposals, but that's about it.
I like their idea for increased public spending to increase GDP, the idea is by the end of the Labour first term debt will have fallen in relation to GDP.
That's a good idea and I think it will work, it's modern economics. The Tory party are depressingly old fashioned.
The increase to workers rights, which is a massive reversal of the decisions made by the Tories. In the UK, new workers essentially have little protection until they're 2 years into the job. It's 6 months in most of Europe.
This decision will strengthen unions and make it easier for a worker to defend themselves from an employer. Good idea.
Apart from that, nothing too exciting
A "border force" aka tough on immigration, no different from the Sunak pledge and lacking in any detail.
Recruiting 6,500 teachers, doesn't even come close to closing the gap and doesn't really answer how this will be done. The issue is finding anyone willing to teach.
Nationalising the rails. It's a fig leaf to lefties, nationalising water is clearly what is needed and Labour won't touch it with a barge pole.
They're still the best option at an election, but underwhelming.
