More money in people's pockets

Labour has raised the minimum wage for

more than 3 million people, boosting pay

by £1,400 for a full-time minimum wage

worker aged 21 and over, and a record

increase for those aged 18-20. Thanks to

our commitment to economic stability,

interest rates have been cut four times,

lowering mortgage and borrowing costs

for millions of families across the UK.

Labour has launched the biggest upgrade

to workers’ rights in a generation with the

Employment Rights Bill: banning exploitative

zero-hour contracts, increasing statutory

sick pay, ending unscrupulous fire and

rehire tactics, strengthening day-one rights

and introducing new protections against

dismissal for pregnant women.

Labour is getting Britain building again, by

reforming the planning system to make it

easier and faster to build the housing and

infrastructure we need. We are investing

a record uplift of £39 billion, in a new

Affordable Homes Programme as part of

our plan to build 1.5 million homes and key

infrastructure across the country. Labour is

also introducing new rights for renters, as

well as ending “no fault” evictions.

Labour knows that economic growth relies

on our innovative and world-leading British

businesses. That’s why we’ve launched a

Modern Industrial Strategy, with billions of

pounds of government investment towards

high growth sectors and technologies.

This funding will help British businesses

in every region to hire workers here in the

UK, attract overseas investors, and slash

industrial energy prices for sectors like

automotive and steel that are the backbone

of UK industry. In the last year, this Labour

government has secured £100 billion of

private investment into the UK, with over

380,000 jobs created since last July.
