Labour Party Manifesto 2024
Key Policies Analysed by BBC Correspondents
The Labour Party has launched its election manifesto for 2024, outlining its key policies and commitments should it be elected to government. BBC correspondents have analysed the manifesto, highlighting several key areas of focus.
Defence
One of the key areas highlighted in the manifesto is defence. Labour claims that the Conservative government has "hollowed out" the country's defences, and proposes a number of measures to strengthen them, including:
- Maintaining an "unshakeable commitment" to NATO and the UK's nuclear deterrent
- Investing in new military equipment and personnel
- Increasing cooperation with European allies on defence
Labour's defence commitments have been welcomed by some, but critics have questioned whether they are affordable or necessary.
