Significant steps have been taken, such as cutting energy bills by up to £150, freezing rail fares for the first time in three decades, and maintaining prescription charges below £10 for the second consecutive year.

Decreasing interest rates are enabling families to save £1,300 on an average new fixed-rate mortgage.
In contrast, the opposition lacks a coherent plan and would potentially revert to austerity measures, cut public services, increase hospital waiting lists, push more children into poverty, and eliminate workers’ rights.
