Oppose independence. Back a written constitution for a federal United Kingdom and a new bespoke UK-EU customs union.
NHS & Health
A 10-year NHS and care workforce plan, new neighbourhood health teams giving every GP practice the equivalent of an extra clinical staff member, walk-in mental health services and a Fair Deal for Rural Healthcare.
Housing
Return housebuilding to 25,000 new homes annually, create key worker housing, and replace the SNP's housing strategy with a new holistic data-driven approach.
Climate & Transport
Support net zero by 2045 with a programme for net zero new towns featuring rail links, district heating and 20-minute neighbourhoods.
Tax & Public Spending
Where funds allow, lift tax thresholds in line with inflation and begin to close the tax differential with England in a balanced way that protects public services.
Economy & Jobs
Reform business rates to stop sudden tax hikes on successful employers and help people upskill through new Job Transition Loans worth up to £5,000.
Education & Childcare
Hire 2,000 more pupil support assistants, roll out speech and language therapy and make every school a smartphone-free environment.
Social Issues
Strong defence of LGBT+ and trans rights. Ban all forms of conversion therapies and practices, working in partnership with the UK Government.
