This morning, Kiastama has laid out six key pledges for a Labour government should they win power this election year.

So what is the Labour leader promising and will those promises be kept?

Hello I'm Hannah Barnes, Associate Editor at the New Statesman and you're listening to

the New Statesman podcast. I'm very pleased to be joined today by my colleagues

Freddie Hayward, our political correspondent, and senior editor George Eaton.

Okay, so let's start by looking at these six pledges.

Let me just run through them quickly.

So first up, sticking to tough spending rules in order to deliver economic stability.

Cutting NHS waiting lists by providing 40,000 more appointments each week.

That's going to be funded by tackling tax avoidance and non-dom loopholes.

Third, launching a border security command to stop the gangs, arranging small boat crossings.

Fourth, setting up Great British Energy, a publicly owned Clean Power Energy Company.

Fifth, providing more neighbourhood police officers to reduce antisocial behaviour and introduce new penalties for offenders.

And finally recruiting six and a half

thousand teachers paid for through ending tax breaks for private schools.

Now George kick us off who are these pledges pledges aimed at same swing voters the voters who decide elections these pledges they all reference the the themes that normally come up at election time. The economy, NHS, schools, crime.

Crime. One thing that jumps out for me is there's clearly been a late edition which

is the pledge on border commander security.
