Labour Party leader Sir Keir Starmer unveiled Labour's 2024 General Election manifesto in Manchester.
The manifesto emphasizes economic growth and public services to rebuild Britain.
It targets Tory executive Stephen Massey's financial ties to a company paying dividends to a tax haven, sparking controversy.
Starmer pledged support for businesses and workers without raising VAT, income tax, and National Insurance.
Revenue generation proposals include taxes on non-doms, VAT on private schools, and anti-tax avoidance measures.
Key plans include economic growth, clean energy, crime reduction, education reform, and NHS improvement.
The manifesto aims to restore Labour's economic credibility ahead of the pivotal General Election on July 4.
Additional initiatives focus on increased NHS appointments, house-building for young people, employee rights, energy bills, education, and police presence.
Starmer's agenda is viewed as transformative and hopeful, addressing issues like spinal muscular atrophy testing for babies.
