Growth only counts if people feel it.

When asked what would improve their lives most, people didn’t say more money or less crime.
They said a better NHS.
That’s how much this matters - it cuts through everything else.

Many fear the founding principle of the NHS - care based on need, not ability to pay - will not continue to be viable without intervention.
71% worry they’ll have to pay for NHS care in future. Only 1 in 5 are confident believe it will remain free at the point of use.

Shifting NHS care from hospitals to the community (highstreets, town centres, etc) eases pressure on hospitals and brings care closer to those who need it.
It’s not just smart policy, it’s popular: 58% of Brits want the Government to prioritise local NHS services.

The UK needs a stable trading relationship with the EU if it is to tackle the big issues facing voters: the cost-of-living crisis, economic security and national security.
@prafulnargund.bsky.social outlines on @bbcnewslive.bsky.social that good trade deals are a key element of this.

Every Briton - young and old - must be able to access opportunity, training and good work. That’s good growth.
But the Government needs to go fast.
Over 70% expect to see the benefits of growth in 4 years, while almost 50% of swing voters expect to feel them in 2 years.

We’ve long argued that growth must be tied to everyday life. Today’s emphasis on the NHS, national security and skills is a strong start.
Now it's about delivery.
