Labour pledged a tax lock ruling out increases to the rates of income tax, National Insurance and VAT on working people, capped corporation tax at 25 per cent for the parliament, and committed to two fiscal rules requiring the current budget to balance and debt to fall as a share of GDP by year five. Headline revenue measures were the abolition of non dom status, VAT on private school fees, a windfall tax extension on oil and gas, and closing the carried interest loophole. The overarching mission was to secure the highest sustained growth in the G7.

Labour committed to cut NHS waiting times by delivering an extra 40,000 appointments, scans and operations a week, funded by cracking down on tax avoidance and non dom loopholes, and to return to the constitutional standard of 92 per cent of patients waiting no longer than 18 weeks for elective treatment. It promised to recruit thousands more GPs, double the number of CT and MRI scanners, reform dentistry with 700,000 more urgent appointments, and provide mental health support in every school and a specialist hub in every community.

Labour pledged to scrap the Rwanda removals scheme on day one and replace it with a new Border Security Command staffed by hundreds of investigators, intelligence officers and cross border police using counter terrorism style powers against people smuggling gangs. It promised to clear the asylum backlog by hiring more caseworkers, end the use of asylum hotels, establish a returns and enforcement unit with 1,000 extra staff, and negotiate a new returns agreement with the EU. The manifesto did not set a numerical net migration target.

Labour pledged to recruit 6,500 new expert teachers in key subjects, paid for by ending the VAT and business rates exemption for private schools, and to fund free breakfast clubs in every primary school in England. It committed to a new curriculum and assessment review, mental health support in every secondary school, 3,000 new nurseries via the school estate, and a youth guarantee of training, an apprenticeship or help finding work for every 18 to 21 year old.

Labour committed to make Britain a clean energy superpower by decarbonising the electricity system by 2030, doubling onshore wind, trebling solar and quadrupling offshore wind, and creating a publicly owned Great British Energy capitalised with 8.3 billion pounds over the parliament. It pledged a Warm Homes Plan worth 6.6 billion pounds to upgrade five million homes, no new licences to explore new oil and gas fields in the North Sea while honouring existing ones, and a proper windfall tax on producers.

Labour pledged 1.5 million new homes over the parliament, restoration of mandatory local housing targets, and reform of the National Planning Policy Framework to fast track brownfield development and release lower quality grey belt land under golden rules requiring affordable housing and infrastructure. It committed to a new generation of new towns, the biggest increase in social and affordable housebuilding in a generation, and protections for renters including ending Section 21 no fault evictions.

Labour promised to introduce its New Deal for Working People within 100 days, banning exploitative zero hours contracts, ending fire and rehire, and creating day one rights to parental leave, sick pay and protection from unfair dismissal. It committed to a genuine living wage that accounts for the cost of living and removes age bands, and to reform Jobcentres into a national jobs and careers service, but offered no commitment to lift the two child benefit limit and did not propose cuts to disability benefits.

Labour pledged 13,000 additional neighbourhood police officers, PCSOs and special constables, a Neighbourhood Policing Guarantee giving every community a named officer, and missions to halve serious violence against women and girls and to halve knife crime within a decade. It committed to specialist rape units in every force, a ban on ninja swords and zombie style machetes, a new offence of assaulting a shopworker, and prison building plus sentencing reform to address the capacity crisis.

Labour declared an unshakeable commitment to NATO and the UK's nuclear deterrent, pledged to set out the path to spending 2.5 per cent of GDP on defence when fiscal conditions allowed, and to maintain steadfast military, financial and diplomatic support for Ukraine. It committed to a strategic defence review within the first year, to restoring 0.7 per cent of GNI on overseas aid when fiscal conditions allowed, and to recognising a Palestinian state as part of a two state solution process.

Labour ruled out rejoining the EU, the single market or the customs union, and ruled out the return of free movement. It committed to an improved trading relationship including a veterinary agreement to ease food and animal product checks, mutual recognition of professional qualifications, a security pact with the EU, and easier touring arrangements for British artists.

Labour committed to immediate legislation removing the remaining 92 hereditary peers from the House of Lords, introducing a mandatory retirement age of 80, and consulting on a longer term replacement of the Lords with an alternative second chamber representing the nations and regions. It pledged to lower the voting age to 16 for all elections, establish a new Ethics and Integrity Commission, and deliver a Take Back Control Act devolving new powers over transport, skills, planning, employment support and energy to English combined authorities.
