Labour party's general election manifesto passed without a vote | General Election 2024

Shadow Justice Secretary Shabana Mahmood was quizzed by Sky News' Trevor Phillips whether the Labour party is planning an age cap of 80 for House of Lords membership.

On Labour's manifesto arrangements for the election, she outlined how the document was endorsed by "acclaim", meaning it was supported by people present through applause rather than a vote.

Tories and Labour two cheeks of the same backside.

Fully funded and fully costed. Mmm! that one sounds familiar. Been here before and worn the t-shirt?

[DerekWong]

Chairman Keir is running the party like a dictator

[samhodgins]

Labour will make all the problems we face worse from day one

[MichaelSmith-nsow]

What’s actually in the Labour manifesto?
Where can people view this?

[hashburystumble]

Borrow more, increase taxes or continue with austerity. That is the choice for any incoming government.

[EnglishFemale]

Just listen to Reform, the truth with actual figures is so refreshing. F Labour F tories

Shabana abstained on gaza vote. Remember that when voting

They don’t really have time to be fair. They voted for Starmer and most seem to have faith in him. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with this as long as they believe they can meet it.

This guy is demanding labour confirm how they plan to fix the repeated mistakes of the Tories. The Tories made this issue and Trevor appears fine with trusting them to continue, rather than listen to actual plans to repair broken systems.

A Tory shill, a bad interviewer and disingenuous.

The final NHS question is disgusting. Politicians choosing to use the NHS over private is admirable. They're lining up with the masses and not cutting queues like Rishi et al because they feel more important than others.

I cannot remember this sort of scrutiny taking place in 2019, when Johnson's primary manifesto promise, was to get brexit done.
Of course we got the same nonsense about Labour increasing tax ation, but no one bothered to cost up brexit, perhaps if they

[LordSuperAstro]

It's scary to give Labour such a huge majority. They have no fear of MPs rebelling because they would need a huge amount to rebel for it to have any effect.

[FITZYIS]

more teachers 6500 for 25, 000 schools colleges ect ! not even 1 per 3 schools ! wow what a differance that will make, the money trees must be growing fast ! Abbotts added it all up !

[craphead]

No democracy then in the Labour Party if no vote on their manifesto was taken.... Tony cuenca

[jamesjamesdavis]

Everything about Labour is great, says she.

[hamza]

This woman sounds like another Priti Patel and Suella Bravaman. Labour has become the Conversative Government

[christommo]

Vote Reform and put an end to this madness. Labour and Conservative are the same! Love to see Farage debate with Starmer....he'll make him squirm!

[GamerJudgemental]
