LABOUR CASH SPREE
NATIONALISATION
Royal Mail, rail and utility companies to be brought into public ownership. The CBI estimates this would cost £196billion, but Labour disputes this.
WORKERS’ RIGHTS
Introduce a 32-hour working week within a decade. The Tories claim the cost will ‘cripple’ the NHS.
BUSINESS
Big businesses face an ‘excessive pay levy’ for executives and must hand ten per cent of their shares to workers.
TAX
Top five per cent of earners to pay more to fund public services. The Institute for Fiscal Studies says this would affect up to 1.9million people.
IMMIGRATION
Labour’s annual conference backed a motion vowing to ‘maintain and extend’ freedom of movement of people.
BREXIT
Broker a new deal with Brussels to keep UK in customs union, then hold a second referendum.
HEALTH
An extra £26billion to rebuild hospitals in England, and to make NHS dental check-ups free, something the British Dental Association says will cost £450million a year.
EDUCATION
University tuition fees scrapped south of the Border and every adult offered six years of free study.
HOUSING
Major building programme to construct 150,000 council and social homes using £75billion of borrowing over five years.
ENVIRONMENT
Billions to upgrade every home to be energy efficient, plus £3 billion to invest in new electric car models and technology.
BENEFITS
Scrap the Universal Credit scheme. Labour has promised a £3billion emergency bailout of the system in the short term.
SOCIAL CARE
Free personal care to the over-65s in England. The King’s Fund estimates it could cost £6billion a year.
