Promises made and promises kept by the Labour government

SO, readers complain that Labour have either broken or not kept their promises. So, let me explain what this Labour Government achieved so far.

- Geoffrey Brooking.

Labour's Plan For Change has delivered the following:

■Three million workers got a pay rise through increases to the National Minimum Wage and National Living Wage.

■The first 300 new school-based nurseries have been announced.

■There has been a £470 increase in state pension this year.

■1,000 flood defence projects announced, protecting 66,500 properties.

An extra £617m over two years for community pharmacies.

■A £302m cash injection to fix further education colleges.

■Confirmation of 500,000 vital NHS appointments and operations saved by ending strikes straight after the general election.

■£200m investment to recruit 3,000 neighbourhood police and PCSOs in the next year, as part of Labour's Plan for Change which will put 13,000 bobbies back on the beat.

1,503 GPs recruited since October 1, surpassing our commitment.
