Our pledges

Bosworth candidate Rory Palmer joined Gordon Brown at today’s launch of Labour’s key five election pledges.

Labour’s pledges to the people of Britain are:

• Secure the recovery
• Protect frontline investment
• Strengthen fairness in communities
• Raise family living standards
• Build a high tech economy

Along with Labour candidates from across the East Midlands, Rory was mentioned by Gordon Brown in a special introduction to his speech, setting out that it’s Labour representatives who will deliver for communities and who will lead the way in changing politics.

Speaking after the event in Nottingham, Rory Palmer said:

“Our five pledges are about making sure we keep Britain on track into economic recovery and that fairness is our driving force. We will protect vital frontline services like the police, schools, childcare and the NHS because we understand how important these services are to ordinary families across Hinckley and Bosworth.”

“There is a clear choice at this election between Cameron’s Tories who will bring in deep, savage and immediate cuts that would devastate services and wreck the recovery, or the Labour Party who will secure the recovery, protect frontline investment and raise family living standards.”

“On the doorsteps of Hinckley, Earl Shilton, Barwell and Markfield, and right across the constituency, people tell me they want public services protected and communities built on fairness. Labour is the only party offering a real solution and an ambitious vision for Britain. The Tories are a choice Bosworth can’t afford.”
