Reform is not on your side...
Labour is banning fire and rehire. We’re stopping the abusive use of zero hours contracts. And we’re protecting workers against unfair dismissal.

The Tories crashed the economy.
In January, Reform said Labour was pushing us into recession.
With Labour, in the first three months of the year, the UK economy has grown faster than the US, Canada, France, Italy and Germany.

Britain wants energy independence.
Those who oppose this Government’s path to energy security are standing in the way of that independence.
They’re standing against lower bills, high-quality British jobs and an end to vulnerable imported energy.

Britain's energy security depends on the expansion of home-grown clean energy — cutting bills, creating jobs, and protecting us from global shocks like Putin's invasion of Ukraine.

Offshore wind down 60%
We’re price takers on volatile fossil fuel markets.
Energy independence isn’t a luxury—it’s essential.
Renewables are now the cheapest option.
