My promise to you is that I will maintain our radical values and work tirelessly to get Labour in power – so that we can advance the interests of the people our party was created to serve.

Here are my 10 pledges. #AnotherFutureIsPossible [Thread] https://cards.twitter.com/cards/18ce547k7hu/8z7cd
Increase income tax for the top 5% of earners, reverse the Tories’ cuts in corporation tax and clamp down on tax avoidance, particularly of large corporations. No stepping back from our core principles.
Abolish Universal Credit & end the Tories’ cruel sanctions regime. Set a national goal for wellbeing to make health as important as GDP; invest in services to shift to a preventative approach. Defend our NHS. Support the abolition of tuition fees & invest in lifelong learning.
Put the Green New Deal at the heart of everything we do. There is no issue more important to our future than the climate emergency. A Clean Air Act to tackle pollution locally. Demand international action on climate rights.
No more illegal wars. Introduce a Prevention of Military Intervention Act and put human rights at the heart of foreign policy. Review all UK arms sales and make us a force for international peace and justice.
Public services should be in public hands, not making profits for shareholders. Support common ownership of rail, mail, energy and water; end outsourcing in our NHS, local government and justice system.
Full voting rights for EU nationals. Defend free movement as we leave the EU. An immigration system based on compassion and dignity. End indefinite detention and call for the closure of centres such as Yarl’s Wood.
Work shoulder to shoulder with trade unions to stand up for working people, tackle insecure work and low pay. Repeal the Trade Union Act. Oppose Tory attacks on the right to take industrial action and weakening of workplace rights.
Push power, wealth and opportunity away from Whitehall. A federal system to devolve powers – including through regional investment banks and control over regional industrial strategy. Abolish the House of Lords - replace it with an elected chamber of regions and nations.
Pull down obstacles that limit opportunities and talent. We are the party of the Equal Pay Act, Sure Start, BAME representation and the abolition of Section 28 – we must build on that for a new decade.
Forensic opposition to the Tories in Parliament – linked to our mass membership & a professional election operation. Never lose sight of the votes ‘lent’ to the Tories in 2019. Robust action to eradicate the scourge of antisemitism. Maintain our collective link with the unions.
These are my pledges to unite Labour, defend its radical values and beat the Tories. You can read them all here. #AnotherFutureIsPossible https://cards.twitter.com/cards/18ce547k7hu/8z7cd
