Labour Deputy Leader says Party will reverse the Tories’ national
decline with decent jobs, secure homes and strong communities.
is set to open the Labour
Party Conference with a vision for Britain with “growth in all
places for all people” built on the foundation of “a decent job,
a secure home and a strong community”.
In comments ahead of her speech in Liverpool on Sunday,
, Labour’s Shadow Deputy
Prime Minister, accused and his Party of “taking a
sledgehammer” to the foundations of a good life:
“Rishi Sunak and the Tories have time and time again taken a
sledgehammer to the foundations a good life can be built upon.
Decent jobs, secure homes and strong communities are being
snatched away from people.
“With five Prime Ministers in seven years and constant chaos and
instability, Britain’s future has been left to take a back seat.
The Tories’ legacy is national decline - a nation levelled down
and starved of hope.”
“While the Tories have stolen Britain’s future, it’s Labour that
will give it back with our plan to make working people better off
by securing growth for all people and in all places”.
Ahead of her speech, Rayner, Labour’s Shadow Secretary of State
for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities said she would set out
Labour’s plan to end the Tory housing emergency:
“The Tories have failed renters, leaseholders, and first-time
buyers. They’ve failed to build the homes Britain needs. Labour’s
plan for secure homes will put an end the Tories’ housing
emergency.”
The Labour Party Deputy Leader, who also serves at the Strategic
Lead for the New Deal for Working People is set to flesh out
Labour’s plan to make work pay said:
“Labour’s New Deal for Working People is our plan to boost wages,
make work more secure and support working people to thrive. Our
New Deal is mission-critical. It's how Labour will make work
pay.”
Rayner is also expected to pledge the “biggest ever transfer of
power out of Westminster” and say after thirteen years under the
Tories “the places that once built Britain have been
abandoned”.
Rayner has spoken about ending the North-South divide in her new
position, and called the Tories’ Levelling Up project “dead on
arrival”.
