Please can someone say what labours manifesto is?

[Gymnoob]

Hi,

Looks like no choice but to vote labour this time. No idea what they actually stand for. I have listened to Kier and various things still none the wiser. I don’t know whether this is because they have less air time as the opposition or something else.

If anyone can sum up very briefly the 3 main policies or changes they will make.

To do the conservative comparison I would have said they wanted to;
Lower taxes (and plunge the £ into panic)
‘Fix’ the nhs
Have an odd obsession with sending everyone to Rwanda

But I can’t make a comparison for labour because no idea!

Thank you

@MistyGreenAndBlue If you mean what Kendall said at conference last year,it was very different to the ESA reforms the Tories are pushing ahead with:

“Conference, Britain isn’t working.
Over two million people shut out of the workplace because of sickness or disability, want to work.
The over 50s, especially women struggling with poor physical health and caring responsibilities.
Young people with mental health problems lacking basic qualifications, on the back foot before they’ve even begun.
Under Labour, this will change.
Our top priority will be ensuring everyone who can work, does.
Because we believe the benefits of work go beyond a payslip.
And in the dignity and self-respect good work brings.
So we will tear down the barriers to success.
We’ll tackle the root causes of worklessness, recruiting thousands more mental health staff and overhauling skills.
So no-one is ever written off again, whatever their age.
We’ll transform employment support so it’s tailored to individual and local needs . . .
This is our contract with the British people: real opportunities, matched by the responsibility to take them up.”
Kendall also told conference:
“We will reform universal credit to protect people when they need it and to genuinely make work pay. We’ll champion equality for disabled people.”

If you meant something different please do post a link.

It's typical Tory thinking to believe that there is only one way to tackle unemployment and long term sickness and that way is punitive. Not surprised at all to see @MistyGreenAndBlue interpreting it that way, Tories are unable to see it any differently.

Don't forget the "hostile policy" she started - if you are foreign, fuck off.

E2A: and Windrush.

🙄

The manifesto will be released when the GE is announced. You'll have time.

Labour said this? Well that sounds great. I have never heard of Kendall. Perhaps they should be PM

She ran in the same leadership contest as Corbyn.

I paid my £3 and voted for her, to try and stop Corbyn getting in.
