The world is facing unprecedented economic challenges, demanding new ways of thinking and acting.
Labour is taking action nationally and internationally to ensure recovery in Britain.
This is working locally: unemployment in Haringey is now 9,863, compared to 21511 under the Tories in 1992. That's 12,000 fewer people in fear of losing their homes. The Tories do nothing but talk Britain down while the LibDems promise “savage cuts” in your public services.
See how Labour compares:
| Labour’s policies | Tory Government | |
|---|---|---|
| Labour acts with a clear sense of purpose – determined to help people and businesses through the downturn. | … would let the recession run its course, leaving people to sink or swim, like in the 1980s and 90s. | |
| Labour delivered a £145 tax cut for 22 million basic rate taxpayers and a VAT cut worth £275 for the average household. | … are committed to a £200,000 tax cut to 3,000 millionaires and won’t back Labour’s £1.2 billion to help the unemployed get back into work. | |
| Given an extra £60 for pensioners and carers. | … would review all benefits and most likely cut them or make them means tested. | |
Labour has boosted pubic services to support the economy through the recession, including a £3 billion capital | … plans for cuts in public services, including apprenticeships, Sure Start, housing and transport in the middle of a recession. |
