Manifesto launches are a significant moment in any general election campaign, and Thursday’s publication of Labour’s manifesto is a big chance for Keir Starmer to set out how his party would govern if it wins the general election on 4 July.

So how plausible are the manifesto’s plans? What are the big dividing lines with the Conservatives? How would a Labour government pay for public services? And what does the manifesto tell us about the priorities of a Labour government after 14 years in opposition?

In this General Election 2024 webinar, the Institute for Government gives an expert briefing on what is in the Labour manifesto – and what it would mean for government. 

Panellists included:

• Sam Freedman, author of Failed State
• Stuart Hoddinott, Senior Researcher at the Institute for Government
• Gemma Tetlow, Chief Economist at the Institute for Government
• Emma Norris, Deputy Director of the Institute for Government (chair)
