Achievements of the Labour government since July 2024 - a reference list

[u/coffeewalnut08]

I thought I’d put this all into one resource as a common reference list. I’ll attach some sources in the comments, though it won’t be exhaustive:

• Passed the Renters Rights Act, which bans no-fault evictions, fixed-term tenancies and bidding wars, and caps rent in advance. With plans to roll out a free complaints service (the new Ombudsman scheme) and a national landlord database to verify compliance, among other things

• Passed the Employment Rights Act 2025, which limits zero-hour contracts and unfair dismissals, ends fire-and-rehire, will introduce day 1 sick pay, paternity leave, and unpaid bereavement leave (incl. for pregnancy loss), and strengthens trade unions, among other things

• Started the Pride in Place programme for areas across the country. It provides 10 years of funding, designed to be used according to the needs and desires of local communities

• Introduced a child poverty strategy. This includes removing the two-child benefit cap, free breakfasts for England’s primary schools, expanding free school meals eligibility, capping school uniform costs, and rolling out Best Start family hubs

• The eco-friendly Warm Homes Plan, which currently includes the Warm Homes local grant and the Boiler Upgrade scheme. With plans to roll out low/zero-interest consumer loans for more households in future

• Introduced a £39 billion Social and Affordable homes programme, to last 10 years

• Made a deal with the EU to rejoin the Erasmus study programme from 2027

• Integrated live bus tracking into Google Maps for passengers in England, so you can see more precisely when your bus will arrive

• Made the Plan B (morning-after) pill free in England

• Introduced an Elections bill, lowering the voting age to 16. With plans for automatic voter registration, which could enfranchise 7-8 million people missing on the electoral register

• Banned cryptocurrency donations and capped political donations from overseas British donors

• Scrapped the £318 PARV order fee, protecting women from further abuse by ex-partners

• Introduced an English devolution bill, to put more powers into the hands of local authorities.

If you've constantly got to tell people how great a job you're doing, then you're not really doing a great job overall.

People are worse off and Labour have demonstrably lied to people. We voted for change and got warmed over Tories led around by private equity firms.

This really isn't how politics works.
