Britain was built on the bedrock of industrial jobs offering security and a good wage. My government's Green Prosperity Plan will back the pride and ambition in our industrial heartlands. With good jobs, higher wages and energy security - Labour will get Britain's future back.
Everybody, please look behind the campaigning, and see just what exactly Labour are endorsing here, a Tory initiative of 12 deregulated Freeports and 74 Special Economic Zones that are tax-exempt for 10 years, and licensed for 25 years, meaning no incoming govt can revoke the contracts without threat of an ISDS (where a company can sue the govt), this is how Brexit is being forced to work under WTO bottom-of-the-barrel rules, this is capital hungry Britain at the service of corporations intent on trashing workers rights, environmental laws, and the inevitable privatization of the entire UK. That’s continuity of Tory policies that Labour backed in the Freeports consortia spanning England, Scotland, and Wales. This is how corporations finally overthrow British democracy.

@Keir_Starmer @PDPorts @Ed_Miliband @RachelReevesMP Will Labour introduce measures to ensure investment in UK owned industrial companies offering jobs?
@Keir_Starmer @PDPorts @Ed_Miliband @RachelReevesMP You have too many unskilled illegals and immigrants. The UK is going to go bankrupt.
@Keir_Starmer @PDPorts @Ed_Miliband @RachelReevesMP Do you have a favourite cheese?
@Keir_Starmer @PDPorts @Ed_Miliband @RachelReevesMP Don't be fooled when he claims there will be real change with him as PM.
@Keir_Starmer @PDPorts @Ed_Miliband @RachelReevesMP But we haven’t got any jobs like that anywhere - we don’t produce steel! See #Tata for example It all come from China And we can’t start manufacturing because it might destroy the climate? And no skills It takes years to learn those skills #Freeports scam
@Keir_Starmer @PDPorts @Ed_Miliband @RachelReevesMP Britain was built on a class based economy which benefitted the rich and on imperialism and slavery which developed specific forms of racism to excuse genocide and settler colonialism - and you're continuing that tradition
@Keir_Starmer @PDPorts @Ed_Miliband @RachelReevesMP Actually, Britain was built on the bedrock of our industry managing to compete internationally and selling their goods at a profit. It has been decimated by unions, high tax and red tape.
