For decades we've been offered a choice between frying pan and fire.
Not anymore.
Our manifesto is the most radical plan for Britain since 1945.
We have over 200 policies.
Over the next three weeks, we're getting through all of them.
Welcome to the Labour Policy Megathread.

Welcome to the Labour Policy Megathread.
Over the next three weeks (on the days that I'm not working), I'll be producing another part of the thread, and I'll let you all know.
I've had fun researching this.
Our policies are fantastic and I'm proud to be able to promote them.
Let's get to it. Policies 1-25 #ForTheMany

Let's get to it. Policies 1-25 #ForTheMany
1. Abolish Tuition Fees
I campaigned against tuition fees back when I first started campaigning.
I remember how the Lib Dems sold students down the river.
And I'll remember how we abolished them entirely when we right that wrong. https://thetab.com/uk/2019/11/21/labour-abolish-tuition-fees-133038

2. 200 new Social Welfare lawyers
The Tories have devastated the premise of social justice.
Labour will create 200 new social welfare lawyers in just one of the steps we're taking to redress the balance and put power back in the hands of the many. https://www.lawgazette.co.uk/news/labour-to-plough-18m-into-200-social-welfare-lawyers/5101534.article

Oh, and on that - Labour will reverse all Tory cuts to legal aid.
And we'll do it in the first 100 days of government. https://labour.org.uk/press/labour-will-restore-legal-aid-advice-richard-burgon/

4. The Right to Food
Yes. You heard me right.
When I saw this policy for the first time, I actually whooped.
We're going to bring in a Fair Food Act that enshrines the right to food in law.
Quite simply a stunning policy that will save lives. https://www.nfuonline.com/news/latest-news/labours-right-to-food-policy-announcement/

We'll scrap Ofsted and create a new inspection system where local authorities run "health checks" on schools instead as part of wider education reform. https://schoolsweek.co.uk/confirmed-labour-would-scrap-ofsted/

6. Local authorities given powers to appropriate empty shops
Just that. Labour will give local authorities the power to seize shops that have been empty for twelve months and offer them to start-ups, co-operative businesses and community projects. https://labour.org.uk/press/corbyn-announces-radical-plans-reopen-empty-shops-revive-britains-struggling-high-streets/

7. Free Dental Checks
Labour will scrap Band One dentistry charges across the board.
It's Corbyn's ambition to bring in free dentistry down the line.
This is a positive first step. https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/politics/labour-bring-back-free-dental-20896187

8. Votes at 16
Labour have consistently campaigned for the vote for 16 year olds for years now. Most of the major parties agree.
The only ones who don't - the Tories. Funny that?
The fact is, you can work at 16. You should be able to vote at 16. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/newsbeat-50207481

9. Independent Review into the rise of the Far Right
Here's another policy I wasn't aware of, but I definitely welcome.
In the wake of the Home Office dealing with an increase in far-right extremism, Labour will commission an independent review. https://labour.org.uk/press/labour-announces-independent-review-rise-far-right/

11. Labour to ban MPs from taking second paid jobs
Jeremy Corbyn has spend a career on the sidelines watching his fellow MPs ride the parliamentary gravy train.
Now he's going to be the conductor and he's pulling the emergency break. https://evolvepolitics.com/labour-pledges-to-ban-mps-from-taking-paid-second-jobs-in-2019-manifesto/

13. The War Powers Act
This policy... it's just so Corbyn, and it's part of the reason we back him.
Labour will bring in a War Powers Act to ensure that Parliament has the final say on any planned military action. https://labour.org.uk/press/labour-calls-war-powers-act/

14. Four New Public Holidays
"Under Labour’s proposals, UK-wide public holidays would be held on St David’s Day (1 March), St Patrick’s Day (17 March), St George’s Day (23 April) and St Andrew’s Day (30 November)."
Neat. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2018/apr/23/labour-promises-four-more-bank-holidays-if-it-wins-general-election

17. Free bus travel for Under 25s
This is a personal favourite of mine. And I'm 35.
I remember struggling to get to work, job interviews - all sorts of things.
This could make a genuine difference to the lives of young people.
Love this policy. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2018/apr/11/labour-announces-plan-for-under-25s-to-have-free-bus-travel

18. Nationalise the National Grid
We're going to do just that. We'll nationalise the grid in a bit to lower energy prices and usher in a Green Industrial Revolution.
Here's our fantastic document, Bringing Energy Home. I'd strongly advise a read at it.
https://www.labour.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Bringing-Energy-Home-2019.pdf

19. Abolish Prescription Charges
Here in Northern Ireland, we don't pay prescription charges.
It's great.
You shouldn't have to pay them either, and Labour will ensure it. https://www.nursinginpractice.com/respiratory/asthma-prescription-charges-medical-exemption-nurse

20. Free nursery care for 2-4 year olds
Free universal nursery care for all children between the ages of 2 and 4.
No means testing.
That's it. A fantastic policy that will genuinely help parents. https://labour.org.uk/press/labour-announces-radical-expansion-free-childcare/

21. Four day week within the next ten years
We'll work to ensure that within ten years, every person in the country can work a four day week, with no loss of earnings.
This is the future - at least, it is if you back Labour. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/labour-conference-32-hour-working-week-john-mcdonnell-corbyn-a9116581.html

22. 24,000 new nurses
As a HCA, I know what a tough job nurses do. I work alongside them everyday.
Labour will bring in 24,000 new nurses in a bit to provide safe staffing levels.
This will improve patient care and working conditions across the board. https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/politics/nurses-champion-jon-ashworth-pledges-20850732

23. Ban animal trophy imports
Jeremy Corbyn likes those arseholes who parade around with trophy kills as much as you or I do.
So in that spirit, we'll ban trophy animal imports to Britain. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/labour-trophy-hunting-animal-welfare-laws-a9081181.html

24. Raising Corporation Tax
Johnson's scrambling on corporation tax has shown the Tories up.
We want to increase it to 26%. Many other economies have a higher rate.
And it'll only go up to 21% for businesses with an annual turnover under £300k a year. https://www.newstatesman.com/politics/uk/2019/11/how-boris-johnson-misled-voters-over-corporation-tax-tv-debate

25. Recognise Palestine
There's a reason why this policy is so popular.
Under a Labour government we'll recognise Palestine and begin efforts towards a two-state solution very soon after we're elected - according to Corbyn. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/palestine-state-recognition-jeremy-corbyn-labour-government-israel-soon-a8413796.html

Stay tuned for Part Two, coming tomorrow - I'll let you all know when, so keep an eye out!
Solidarity and have a great evening.

26. Statutory Bereavement Leave
You can check out our manifesto for more details, but it's as clear as it sounds - Labour will bring in statutory bereavement leave in order to support families who have lost a loved one.
A compassionate, decent policy.

Labour will finally end the debacle of Universal Credit and scrap it altogether. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2019/oct/01/labour-pledge-scrap-universal-credit-jeremy-corbyn

In a double effort against climate change and energy prices, Labour will fit 1.75m homes with solar panels.
Truly groundbreaking and utterly necessary. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2019/may/15/labour-reveals-plans-to-fit-solar-panels-to-175m-homes

30. Offshore state windfarms
Labour plan to build THIRTY SEVEN state owned offshore windfarms - which will potentially create up to 70,000 jobs.
Show me where Boris Johnson is going to create jobs.
Seriously, show me. You can't. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2019/oct/09/labour-pledges-to-create-70000-more-jobs-in-offshore-windfarms-corbyn

Labour will abolish the Thatcher era trade union laws which will empower workers and allow them to act in solidarity with one another.
We're putting power back in the hands of workers. https://www.politicshome.com/news/uk/political-parties/labour-party/john-mcdonnell/news/100423/john-mcdonnell-says-labour-would

Angela Rayner has been at the forefront of the campaign to cap school uniform costs, and has challenged Gavin Williamson on it.
We'll cap school uniform costs for the benefit of parents. https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/politics/labour-backs-sunday-peoples-campaign-18999400

33. Mandatory alcohol labelling
As a recovering alcoholic, I've no problem with this.
As Jon Ashcroft puts it, "It’s time for full transparency for consumers with alcohol labelling – the current voluntary approach is simply not fit for purpose." https://www.itv.com/news/2019-06-19/alcohol-labelling-would-be-mandatory-under-labour-government/

34. Paid leave for victims of domestic abuse
One of my favourite policies - simply because of how compassionate it is.
Labour will ensure that those who suffer domestic violence keep their financial security, potentially giving them a way out. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/labour-domestic-violence-paid-leave-victims-new-zealand-dawn-butler-a8548866.html

39. Repeal of the Lobbying Act
You'll probably all know about the Lobbying Act and how it gags charities.
You might not know that Labour are planning to bin it.
One of the most disgusting excesses of this Tory government. We'll end it. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2017/jun/07/jeremy-corbyn-lobbying-act-charities-charity-gag-law-general-election

Labour will provide £1bn in order to "transform libraries, museums and galleries across the country".
We'll also make National Lottery funding more transparent.

We'll give public sector workers a fair deal and a 5% pay rise in our first year of government.
As the son of (retired) civil servants, I appreciate this policy immensely.

45. Indefinite tenancies for private renters
This is massive. It'll affect me. It'll affect a lot of people I know.
Labour will force landlords to offer indefinite tenancies, based on the German model, to ensure that private renters have more security. https://labour.org.uk/press/labour-commits-indefinite-tenancies-private-renters/
