Labour’s draft manifesto for the general election has been leaked; here’s the full text:
Manifesto: For the many not the few
Creating an economy that works for all
Our economic strategy is about delivering a fairer, more prosperous society for the many, not just the few.
We will measure our economic success not by the presence of millionaires, but by the ability of people to make ends meet.
Labour understands that wealth creation is a collective endeavour – between investors, workers, public services, and government. Each contributes and each must share equitably in the rewards.
This manifesto is about rebalancing the economy and re-writing the .rules of a rigged system, so that the economy really works for all.
Working people in Britain today are earning less in real terms than they did ten years ago – and six million people earn less than a real living wage. Too Many· people are in insecure and low paid work and cannot make ends meet.
Labour will turn this around.
