Improved control of immigration and borders
Labour’s core election promise is to build an economic recovery that works for working people, not just a few at the top. That includes action to freeze people’s gas and electricity bills, raise the minimum wage and protect our NHS. And just as we will apply the values of the British people in the way our economy is run, we will do the same on immigration.
People need to have confidence that our borders are secure. Labour has plans for 1,000 extra border staff.
A sense of fairness means that we can’t simply allow wages to be undercut, including stronger enforcement of the minimum wage.
A sense of fairness means that entitlement to benefits should be earned, so you contribute for longer before you claim.
And belief in community means that people should learn English and be part of our society.
We are proud to stand up for those values because they are Labour’s values.
Labour offers a real plan to control immigration without needing to take a chance on UKIP's policies.
We'll always back the NHS - but Nigel Farage has been shown on film calling for privatisation of the NHS.
We won't put millions of jobs at risk by leaving the EU.
UKIP are a risk for working people, not a solution.
And unlike the Tories, what we will never do is try to out-UKIP UKIP.
We won't turn our backs on the world by increasingly setting us on a course to leave the EU – that isn’t Britain’s history.
We won't make promises we won’t be able to keep as David Cameron has, promising to reduce net migration to tens of thousands when in fact migration is rising – that just reduces trust in politics.
