Getting living standards rising is core to our values *and* is what we need to win the next election. That is why we set up the Living Standards Coalition. To make sure everyone can earn a decent life. You can read more here:

Getting living standards rising is core to our Labour values. It’s what we were elected to do. That is why over 100 Labour MPs have set up the Living Standards Coalition.

The party opposite had 7 sets of fiscal rules in 14 years. They kept cutting, kept driving down growth, and kept missing their deficit targets. The way to get the debt burden down is to invest in economic growth.

Creating good jobs would benefit the non-grads that are being left behind in our technological era. It would make them better off. And it would help Labour win them back, after a decade where they have left us. Link: . (6/6).

And for those that struggle to find a job at all, we should use direct job creation to help them. The last Labour government’s ‘New Deal’ helped unemployed young people find work. The Tories abolished it. (5/6)

The economy isn’t naturally creating enough good jobs where they are needed. This means we need to invest to make it do so. Investments in the green transition, social & physical infrastructure, and direct employment can create good jobs . (4/6).

Second, we have a severe shortage of good jobs outside of London & its commuter belt. In only six places outside of London & the SE, do half of workers earn more than £35,000. And areas with low wages have lower employment rates too. (3/6)

There are two sides to our good jobs shortage. First, we have a shortage of good jobs everywhere. Even in high-pay London, minimum wage jobs still pay minimum wage. (2/6)

I came into politics because I believe everyone in this country should be able to earn a good life. I welcome the hundreds of thousands of good jobs we will create in construction. But we need millions more.
