The Labour government has already delivered or is making progress towards around two thirds of its manifesto pledges, after just over a year in power.

Sharing this mainly because it pointed me towards FullFact’s Government Tracker, which looks handy. According to them, only one pledge has not been kept, on the National Wealth Fund:

“Capitalised with £7.3 billion over the course of the next Parliament, the National Wealth Fund will have a remit to support Labour’s growth and clean energy missions”

And three others are ‘Off track’, while six are ‘Unclear or disputed’.

Those that have been achieved include:

delivering an extra two million NHS operations, scans and appointments, recognising a Palestinian state, introducing a Football Governance Bill, ending the use of offshore trusts to avoid inheritance tax and abolishing non-dom status.

    You’re not ⅔ of the way through your list if the ⅓ left is all the difficult stuff (which it will be).

    Not necessarily. Some things just take longer than others!
