Why is it so important you vote labour? 🙌🏼

Today marks the anniversary of Emily Davidson the suffragette who on this day in 1913, died. She gave her life for a common goal which took a further 5 more years to achieve, so that women could vote.

Emily Davidson is a symbol of the historical sacrifice that people of all colour; gender; creed; have made over centuries, in order for you to use your vote today, and create real change, to end oppression - be it economical, systematic or social.

It's time to get serious, vote today, don't let it got to waste.

And here are the different reasons why it's so important to vote labour! Here are 10 of the main reasons why! 👍

()

1. Real investment in skills and training.
   Labour will grow our economy, investing in skills and infrastructure through a national investment bank

2. Under Labour, work will pay
   Labour will eradicate insecure zero hours contracts. Labour will ensure that nobody earns less than £10 per hour.

3. Only Labour can be trusted with our NHS
   Labour will stop the pay cuts to NHS staff. No more will nurses be so poor that they turn to foodbanks. Labour will halt the cuts to A&E services.

4. A better chance of a better home
   The average home to buy now costs almost 8 times the average salary. Only Labour will ensure that renting is affordable, and that one million new homes will be built, council and private, over the next five years.

5. The best education for ALL our children
   Conservative plans for grammar and free schools are elitist and a waste of resources. Labour will stop the education cuts, keep class sizes under 30 and ensure our youngest children have a nutritious free school meal.

6. Public transport that supports our communities
   Only Labour will end chaotic and costly rail privatisation and support communities to run their own bus services.

7. A stronger voice for YOU
   Labour will modernise trade union laws and ensure that unions can negotiate collectively on behalf of some of the most vulnerable workers. Labour will remove the punishing Tory tribunal fees that have denied justice to so many at work.

8. A stronger Britain in the world
   Labour will pursue the trading arrangements our economy needs – access to the single market, and barrier-free trade. Labour will honour the rights of the three million EU workers here already, and defend the rights of the million or so UK workers in the EU. Only Labour will target the bad bosses who exploit migrant workers, drive down wages and destroy community cohesion.

9. Affordable, responsible energy under Labour
   Labour will invest in new forms of energy to tackle climate change, create the well-paid decent jobs of tomorrow – and keep energy bills low.

10. A fix for our broken economy
    Under the Tories, UK living standards have slumped. Among EU economies, only Greece has suffered a harder hit. Labour will tackle the low wage, low skill economy the Tories have created, to build a stronger economy that works for the many, not the few.
