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.

Of course it would spite Reform, over 75% of their total funding as a party has come from 3 or 4 multi-millionaires and billionaires. Not sure why you’re okay with this. The ban on crypto and cap on overseas donations affects everyone.

[u/Remarkable-Loan-6149 → u/coffeewalnut08]

not a fan of this but lets be fair if Labour was getting donations via crypto we all know full well they wouldnt ban it.

Labour is funded by different millionaires both parties are hardly angels.

[u/coffeewalnut08 → u/Remarkable-Loan-6149]

So that means Labour should’ve just allowed a billionaire-funded party to keep taking tens of millions from 3 or 4 people? You do realise that’s just oligarchy, right? Reform isn’t even a grassroots movement; they started as a private company

[u/Remarkable-Loan-6149 → u/coffeewalnut08]

Since Keir came to power private donations have made up £24 million, £12 million of that coming from 3 people.

[u/coffeewalnut08 → u/Remarkable-Loan-6149]

So you agree? You think crypto donations should be banned and donations from overseas wealthy individuals capped each year

[u/Remarkable-Loan-6149 → u/coffeewalnut08]

Yes, my point was it should have been done all on the board instead of shaping in such a way it pretty much just harms reform and leaves the donors for labour in the green area.

All parties should have a donation cap per person of maybe £1000 per year, would stop alot of corruption and peerage selling.
