Labour has been in government for 100 days - here's what we've done

It's a big responsibility, but we knew it wouldn’t be easy. Pretty much everywhere you look things are broken – the NHS, dentistry, housing, the education system, our transport systems. All of these things are priorities and none of them will be easy to sort out.

The last government was fond of the quick fix. Especially if it distracted people from their own internal battles. Labour won’t do that. We’ll make the long-term difficult decisions and do the hard work that will leave the country better off as a result. 

But we know that simply saying ‘trust us’ won’t work. We have to deliver. In the end voters will judge us on what we’ve done, not what we say.

That's why in the first 100 days we've rolled up our sleeves and got on with things.  

We’ve set up GB Energy, lifted the block on onshore wind, and set up a national wealth fund which will invest £7.9bn in the ‘industries of the future’ that will create the economic growth we need.

We introduced a law that means Governments have to be fiscally responsible so that the Liz Truss mini-budget can never happen again, and have tightened the rules on MP’s second jobs.

We’ve set mandatory housing targets to build 1.5 million more homes, and this week introduced new rights for renters. We're bringing our railways back into public ownership, and have paved the way for better bus services. 

We’ve introduced new powers to stop river pollution. We’ve ended the doctors strikes so that we can start to get waiting lists back down. We’ve also set up the border security command and took swift action on the riots. This last week we introduced the biggest boost to worker’s rights in a generation.

We know none of these things are “show-stoppers”. This isn’t about pleasing the crowd or playing politics. It's about the real groundwork - not for the first 100 days – but for the long term to get our country and our communities back on their feet and thriving again.
