British Labour Party’s Election Program Centers on New Energy
Labour Party: “The July 4 election is an opportunity to revitalize our economy after 14 years of conservative decline”
The Labour Party has pledged to create more than 650,000 new jobs through a £7.3 billion (€8.6 billion) investment in new energy and a sustainable economy. As Rachel Reeves, the shadow finance minister, told reporters, “the Labour Party’s growth plan aims to make Britain more prosperous, with good living wage jobs across the country.” The Shadow Chancellor of the Exchequer in the British parliamentary system is a member of the United Kingdom’s shadow cabinet who audits the work of the finance minister (Chancellor of the Exchequer). The shadow chancellor has no constitutional role.
With the upcoming July 4 general election, the Labour Party has released its election manifesto, putting the development of green energy sources at the heart of its program. Labour Party leader Keir Starmer pledged to “make Britain a clean energy superpower.”
The manifesto outlined “five key objectives” promising accelerated economic growth, a transition to clean energy, reduced crime, reform of public education, and reform of the National Health Service (NHS).
“The transition to clean energy represents a huge opportunity to boost economic growth, end the living standards crisis, and make Britain energy independent again. That’s why clean energy will be the Labour Party’s second major mission by 2030,” the manifesto says.
“The next Labour government will work closely with the private sector to attract investment in the United Kingdom’s industrial centers,” concluded Reeves, according to whom “the July 4 election is an opportunity to implement this plan and revitalize our economy after 14 years of Conservative decline.”
