UK's Keir Starmer makes 6 pledges to the British people-

"Living standards should rise so that growth was felt by everyone, everywhere."

Real household disposable income per person, GDP per capita by 2029.

Build 1.5 million new homes in 5 years and fast track 150 planning decisions on major infrastructure projects.

92% of patients have to wait no more than 18 weeks for routine operations and appointments by March 2029.

29,000 officers for neighborhood policing and stopping anti-social behavior-1 for every 8000 people.

95% of low carbon electricity generation by 2030. 5% gas generation kept in reserve for unanticipated situations. It is Boris Johnson's target from 2022 in contrast to DJT's reverting to oil and gas to 2027 with industry following its continued but slower shift to gas and wind/solar.

A pledge on living standards as the goal not growth is what Starmer sees as the dire need today. Growth that would put the UK ahead of all countries in the G7 is put aside for raising living standards for ALL the British people. A recognition that the two can mean very different things. Under the current plan fufilfillment of pledges is seen in the growth rate of 0.5% a year that is set in 2024.
