Beaconsfield Labour

Labour is choosing to fix the problems that have gone ignored for too long.

In our first 100 days, our Labour Government has set a course for fresh hope, good growth, and support for those who need it.

The Tories oversaw 14 years of decline. This Labour Government is giving Britain hope again.

Your taxes should be spent on your priorities and the area you live in. That is why Labour is devolving more tax decisions to mayors.

Today, Labour will deliver a Budget that provides breathing space for households, backs businesses and entrepreneurs, and strengthens Britain’s security. We live in a challenging, volatile world. And we can't stop all global shocks that hit Britain, but we can make Britain more resilient for when they do. Labour’s answer to the challenges we face is to take them head on. To give people help with everyday costs, support those running a business or working for themselves, and take action to bring energy bills down for good. To build more homes people can actually afford, back British businesses to grow, and move power out of Westminster so that decisions about your community are made closer to home. Breathing space today. And fresh hope for the future.

A Labour Budget based on Labour values and principles.

Andy Burnham is fighting for what is best for Britain rather than sticking with status quo.

Thank you to everyone who supported us on the doors and on the phones in Holborn and St Pancras today. Together, we have shown what hope means in Camden.

Congratulations to Sagal Abdi-Wali, Labour MP for Holborn and St Pancras!

In the next Parliament, Labour will build a National Care Service. This will be the biggest change to the provision of care in Britain since we established our NHS in the 1940s. At Labour Party Conference, Prime Minister Andy Burnham explained why. Everyone knows that Britain’s social care system is broken. And for decades, politicians have failed to fix it. That’s left millions of older people facing care costs which are too much to bear, and living in conditions which are not up to scratch. It’s also increased pressure on our NHS. Visit any hospital and you will see the impact: older people who should be supported at home forced into A&E, and beds occupied by people who could leave hospital, but can’t get access to the help they need as they recover. We won’t let this system continue. So, the Labour way of looking after older people in our country will be a fundamental change. By setting up a National Care Service, we’ll build a way of delivering care with the same principles as the NHS: where everyone contributes and everyone is covered. Older people will be able to access good quality, free personal care with support for their needs. And our National Care Service will deliver care in the home wherever possible, giving older people the respect they deserve. We’ll pay for it by adjusting the triple lock. The triple lock will stay the same throughout this parliament. Labour pledged it in our manifesto and we’ll keep that promise. From April 2030, we’ll adjust it, but it will always continue to rise. We will guarantee that the state pension will rise every year by either inflation or by 2.5% - whichever is higher. Nobody’s pension will go down, and the state pension will be on a sustainable footing for the years to come. We will start laying the groundwork for the National Care Service now, and introduce it in the next Parliament. So this is Labour’s deal. A state pension that rises every year. And a high-quality National Care Service to give peace of mind in later life.

We can do it. We will believe again. We will hope again.

Labour is putting Britain on a new path.
