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.

    Some of the in-progress and off-track stuff is categorised as such precisely because it was so ambitious, housebuilding in particular. The plan to totally decarbonise the grid was left out of the manifesto because it was basically impossible to do at that speed (it’s still informally the plan).

    Over promise and fail; under promise and get accused of lack of ambition!
