Wow, looks like they intend to meddle with everything when they get back in. You are all in such deep doodoo.

New industries, future jobs
Following the global economic downturn, we know that the economy needs to be re-balanced. As the world changes we will need to compete in new sectors which will grow rapidly in the years ahead. Labour will support industries where we have key technology strengths such as advanced manufacturing, low carbon, life sciences and the creative and digital industries to create jobs and opportunities for British industry.The move to a low-carbon economy will require us to change the way we produce goods, heat our homes and use transport. This offers Britain the opportunity to create high-quality jobs as we manufacture and export new products to the rest of the world. We believe there is an active role for government to ensure that UK manufacturing succeeds in the future. The Strategic Investment Fund, worth £950 million, is already providing investment in advanced industrial projects. We need to build on this success.

Labour's Record
Labour is investing £5 billion to help people back into work. We will guarantee a job or training place for all 18-24 year olds out of work for six months.

With Labour...
Having exceeded our Kyoto target, insulated millions of homes, and become the first government to bring into law binding climate change targets, we are already laying the foundations for new low carbon industry. Our blueprint for a low carbon economy could create 1.2 million green jobs in areas such as renewables, nuclear power and clean coal.

No income tax rise !!! It has been promised. This Labour manifesto is the real deal. Stop press! All go and vote this tulip back in.

Of course, NI,VAT, fuel duty and various other stealth taxes will be jacked up sky high to pay for the 170 billion deficit.

How will you reduce the deficit Gordon ?

I liked the bit about "Ed's pledge for greater ambition on climate change".

Not greater results, greater success, or even greater action, just greater ambition.

No, following 13 years of Gordon Brown it needs a complete f***ing overhaul.

I'm just waiting for someone to hack their website and change the sun-rise into a proper mushroom cloud!

I say take off and nuke the entire economy from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.
