The Labour Manifesto Explained

With Labour often criticised for having no policies, their manifesto launch was their chance to set out their stall and show the country what the presumed Starmer government will look like. So what are the key takeaway's from Labour's Manifesto?

Our mission is to explain news and politics in an impartial, efficient, and accessible way, balancing import and interest while fostering independent thought.

TLDR is a completely independent & privately owned media company that's not afraid to tackle the issues we think are most important. The channel is run by a small group of young people, with us hoping to pass on our enthusiasm for politics to other young people. We are primarily fan sourced with most of our funding coming from donations and ad revenue. No shady corporations, no one telling us what to say. We can't wait to grow further and help more people get informed. Help support us by subscribing, engaging and sharing. Thanks!

Tbh labour could have announced child labour and theyd still probably win

Doesn't matter what their manifesto is. They just have to tell people they're not Tories. People don't vote governments in, they vote them out.

It's funny the Tories have devolved to ads that just go "do you want to hand Keith Starmer a blank check?" when Labour's most compelling argument is just that they aren't the Tories.

At this point, I highly doubt Labour even needs to conduct any campaigning…
Our dear PM stated that he grew up without Sky TV, which I had zero comment.

Manifestos are near pointless unless they are legally binding.

[MerrickKing]

It should be noted that a large part of the "green belt" isn't actually "green". So please people don't go crazy over that policy

[kailanec]

5:33 "How will you do that Keir?" "My father was a toolmaker"

This is not political towards one side I just thought it was funny

[mapk]

Labour is pro Nuclear? Thats pretty epic honestlyyy

[regarded]

The most important bit of the entire manifesto is that a political party finally looks ready to confront the absurd building restrictions in this country.


If you could only make one change to try and massively improve this country, that'd be it. So many problems stem from us not being able to build things.

[svenabend]

"Using 'AI' to improve speed and accuracy"

God sake, throwing buzz words

[arah]

Just smashing NIMBYism I (aka reforming the planning system) will do us a world of good. Nothing get's built, nothing gets made, and then we complain why our growth is a big fat zero. Parts of our electorate are too entitled. They want cheap electricity, but the nuclear plant that makes it? Not in their backyard! Think of Chernobyl! Cheap housing AND rolling green meadows as far as the eye can see. Jobs a plenty but no noisy industry around no thank you!

Frankly right now I'd vote for Cthulu if I meant the tories out

[martinriley]

I find your election content extremely helpful.

It would be great if you put all your manifesto explainer videos into a playlist.

Thanks 🙂

Please do a video on Count Binface and his manifesto

I don't think zero hour contracts should be banned, but they should be improved. They helped me out immensely while I was in Uni.

[jackwilson]

Nationalising trains is desperately needed. Its shockingly expensive

[danesorensen]

Change "tough on crime" to "tough on corporate crime" and get rid of the AI nonsense, Keir.

[Dewi-H]

"We'll increase NHS appointment availability by trying to make staff work outside their contracted hours"

[Gizmo]

Anyone else seen the crazy amount of reform bots on TikTok?

[theconqueringram]

As long as Starmer isn't Sunak, I think Labour has a shot.
