OurLabour economic manifesto for a better, fairer Britain
 
This is our vision for a country that works for the many, not just the privileged few. With Labour, we’ll build a country where we invest our wealth to give everyone the best chance. That means building the homes we need to rent and buy, keeping our communities safe with more police officers, giving our children’s schools the funding they badly need, and restoring the NHS to its place as the envy of the world.
Line 31 ⟶ 34:
Under Labour’s plans, 95 per cent of taxpayers will be guaranteed no increase in their income tax contributions, and everyone will be protected from any increase in personal National Insurance contributions and VAT. Only the top 5 per cent of earners will be asked to contribute more in tax to help fund our public services. We renew our pledge not to extend VAT to food, children’s clothes, books and newspapers, and public transport fares.

== Widening ownership of our economy ==
<div style="margin-left:3em; width:83em; text-align:left;">
'''Britain is a long-established democracy. But the distribution of ownership of the country’s economy means that decisions about our economy are often made by a narrow elite. More democratic ownership structures would help our economy deliver for the many and lead to a fairer distribution of wealth.'''
 
Line 185 ⟶ 188:
 
Public ownership will benefit consumers, ensuring that their interests are put first and that there is democratic accountability for the service.

== Sustainable energy ==
<div style="margin-left:3em; width:83em;">
'''Labour’s energy policy is built on three simple principles:'''
Line 232 ⟶ 233:
 
Currently, the UK buys and sells energy tariff-free from Europe, an arrangement which saves families and businesses money and helps balance the power grid. As part of the Brexit negotiations, Labour will prioritise maintaining access to the internal energy market. Labour will also retain access to Euratom, to allow continued trade of fissile material, with access and collaboration over research vital to our nuclear industry.
