Labour's 5 point plan for jobs & growth
A ready-reckoner
A £2 billion tax on bank bonuses to fund a real jobs guarantee
for all young people out of work for a year and build 25,000 more affordable homes.
Bringing forward long-term investment projects
schools, roads and transport - to get people back to work and strengthen our economy for the future.
Reversing the Tory-led Government's damaging VAT rise
now for a temporary period - a £450 boost for a couple with children - immediate help for our high streets and for struggling families and pensioners.
A one year cut in VAT to 5% on home improvements,
repairs and maintenance - to help homeowners and small businesses.
A one year national insurance tax break
for every small firm which takes on extra workers - helping small businesses to grow and create jobs.
