This policy guide aims to assist our supporters and others with assessing the manifestos of the political parties in the UK General Election on 4 July 2024. It is not a manifesto and doesn’t cover every policy area. Instead, it is a guide to the work we have published in recent years that points to the progressive policies we would like to see political parties adopt. Many policy areas have been devolved to Scotland. However, the political parties in Scotland still cover these policy areas in their manifestos, and this may also help in the development of manifestos for the 2026 Scottish Parliament elections.
