Give everyone the right to see their GP within seven days- AS ABOVE AND HOW ENFORCED

Invest in renewable power and home insulation to cut bills and drive a strong economic recovery- HOW DOES THIS WORK- BUILD IT AND THEY WILL COME?

Ban sewage discharges into rivers and seas- I THOUGHT THEY WERE, THE PROBLEM IS ACTION TO PREVENT THIS PUNISHMENTS ETC

Repair the UK’s relationship with Europe- WHAT DOES THIS MEAN

Introduce a proportional voting system to elect MPs- YES, BUT THEN WE HAVE COALITIONS

 

Green

 

Aim to reach net zero - to stop adding to the total amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere - by 2040, investing £40bn a year to move to a green economy. #RIDETHEBADWAGON- TOTAL UK IMPACT ON THIS IS NEGLIGIBLE WHY NOT SPEND THIS ON NHS OR EDUCATION OR SOCAIL CARE

Introduce a wealth tax on assets above £10m and raise National Insurance for those earning more than £50,270 YES AND WHY £50k

Provide 150,000 new social homes a year, end the Right to Buy and allow local authorities to introduce rent controls- SOMEONE TELL ANGELA RAYNER- WHO BUILDS THESE AND WHERE

Cut energy bills by improving home insulation and installing low-carbon heating systems such as heat pumps- NOT THE FULL ANSWER

Bring railways, water companies and the big five energy firms into public ownership-WHY PUBLIC OWNERSHIP IS NOT NECESSARILY THE BEST

Increase NHS budgets to cut waiting lists and guarantee access to GPs and dentists- EASILY SAID THAN DOEN BUT COULD USE THE £40B ABOVE!

 

 

Reform

Freeze immigration except for those with essential skills – IS THIS NOT WHAT WE HAVE

Stop illegal Channel crossings, including by returning migrants found in small boats to France if needed YES STOP THEM ITS DANGEROUS IS THIS WHAT IT DOES

Cut NHS waiting lists to zero by boosting staff recruitment and increasing the use of alternative health providers- NICE IDEA BUT HOW WOULD THIS BE DONE

Raise the minimum amount someone earns before paying income tax from £12,570 to £20,000 a year, and the threshold for the 40% rate from £50,270 to £70,000 FUNDING!

Scrap VAT on energy bills and cut fuel duty by 20p a litre FUNDING!

End policies to reach net zero - the aim to stop adding to the total amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere NOT THE ANSWER BUT A POINT

 

Workers Party of Britain

 

Redistribute power and wealth to working people- WHAT DOES THIS MEAN 

Give workers greater control and participation in the future of industry through trade unions OR JUST DON’T LET ENTREPRENUERS MAKE ANY INVESTMENT IN BUSINESS AND LET UNIONS DO IT

Support calls for a referendum on whether to continue trying to reach net zero (when greenhouse gas levels in the atmosphere stop rising) A POINT MAYBE

Raise the minimum amount someone earns before paying income tax from £12,570 to £21,200 a year FUNDING

Hold a referendum on Nato membership and campaign to leave- REALLY MAYBE JOIN RUSSIA, CHINA OR NORTH KOREA- STUPID IDEA
