  • Free school meals for every state school pupil

  • A minimum wage of £7.32 for all public sector workers

  • The creation of 24,000 jobs through the implementation of a 35-hour maximum working week across the public sector

  • An end to Private Finance Initiative (PFI), getting rid of the "profiteers" in public services

  • Opposition to and obstruction of any war for oil.
