Labour unveils radical manifesto pledging 'full employment' and public investment

Party sets out plans for 'radical change' in 'most important election in recent history'

Party promises 'full employment' by 1990, withdrawal from the EEC and nuclear disarmament

The Labour Party has unveiled a radical manifesto for the upcoming general election, pledging to introduce full employment, increase public investment, and withdraw from the European Economic Community.

"This is the most important election in recent history," said Labour leader Neil Kinnock. "We have a set out a clear and radical set of policies to change Britain for the better."

The manifesto, entitled "The New Hope for Britain," sets out Labour's plans to create "full employment" by 1990. The party says it will achieve this by increasing public investment, creating new jobs in areas such as manufacturing and construction, and reducing unemployment through training and job creation schemes.

The manifesto also pledges to increase public investment in areas such as education, health, and transport. Labour says it will double the number of nursery places, build new schools and hospitals, and improve public transport.

In addition to full employment and increased public investment, the manifesto also pledges to withdraw from the European Economic Community. Labour says that the EEC is "a rich man's club" that does not serve the interests of the British people.

"We are not anti-European," said Kinnock. "But we believe that Britain can be better off outside the EEC."

The manifesto also pledges to unilateral nuclear disarmament. Labour says that nuclear weapons are "a threat to the whole world" and that Britain should set an example by getting rid of them.

"We believe that Britain can be a force for good in the world," said Kinnock. "We can show the way to a nuclear-free future."

The Labour manifesto has been met with mixed reactions. Some commentators have praised the party's ambition, while others have criticized its plans as unrealistic.

The general election is due to be held on June 11th.
