Liberal Democrat manifesto 2019: 12 key policies explained
The Liberal Democrats have launched their 2019 election manifesto, with the slogan Stop Brexit Build A Brighter Future. It sets out the polices the party aims to introduce should it win the election.
1. Stop Brexit
Article 50 would be revoked and Brexit cancelled.
2. A penny income tax rise for the NHS
Raise £7bn a year over five years - a total of £35bn - to spend on the NHS and social care.
3. Free childcare
All children aged two to four will qualify for 35 hours a week, 48 weeks a year.
4. Generate 80% of electricity from renewables
Achieve this target by 2030 to reduce carbon emissions.
5. Tax frequent flyers
Those who take the most international flights face a tax rise, while costs would come down for people who take one or two international return flights a year.
6. Recruit 20,000 more teachers
Spend £10.6bn more a year on schools and hire thousand of new teachers by the end of the next Parliament.
7. Legalise cannabis
Help to break the grip of the criminal gangs by introducing a legal, regulated market for cannabis.

The freeze would apply to all peak-time and season tickets for the next Parliament.
9. Give zero-hours workers a 20% rise
Pay boost the higher minimum wage for people working on zero-hours contracts.

Content: This is an expensive offer that could attract criticism as a big giveaway to some better-off parents, while not helping the poorest children who might benefit most. Currently all three to four-year-olds with both parents working can access 30 hours free childcare, unless either parent earns more than £100,000 a year. Childcare is a devolved issue. 4. Generate 80% of electricity from renewables
Achieve this target by 2030 to reduce carbon emissions. Even by the standards of an election busy this target is ambitious. We are already on a path of rapid decarbonisation - with 40% of our electricity produced by wind, solar and biomass in the third quarter of this year. And recent government projections suggest that contribution is set to rise to just under 50% over the next decade. So the Liberal Democrats' plan for 80% would mean the extremely rapid construction of many more solar farms and wind turbines on land and out at sea. Only the Green Party envisages a faster transition.
