Change has begun
Delivering for Scotland
As we mark 100 days since the Labour government was elected – with 37 Scottish Labour MPs at its heart – the new Labour government has:
- Set up a Child Poverty Taskforce to tackle poverty across the country.
- Established a National Wealth Fund to create well-paid jobs.
- Scrapped the Tories’ cruel and unworkable Rwanda plan.
- Started work to improve access for Scottish patients to cutting-edge clinical trials.
- Established a Covid Corruption Commissioner to get back our money.
- Launched GB Energy – based in Aberdeen – to bring down bills, deliver jobs and put Scotland at the forefront of the global transition to green energy.
- Secured a recognition deal with Brazil for Scotch whisky worth up to £25 million.
- Introduced legislation for our New Deal for Working People – the biggest upgrade to workers’ rights in a generation which will deliver a genuine living wage, end fire and rehire and scrap exploitative zero hours contracts.
At the same time, the incoming Labour government has faced down far-right riots, pushed for peace in the Middle East and recommitted our support for Ukraine in the face of Russian aggression.
