Welcome to the website of the Renfrewshire Labour Party

The Labour Party is a democratic socialist party. We believe that by the strength of our common endeavour we achieve more than we achieve alone, so as to create for each of us the means to realise our true potential and for all of us a community in which power, wealth and opportunity are in the hands of the many, not the few.

Renfrewshire Labour are working hard to deliver on this principle in Renfrewshire where our dedicated Labour team of Councillors, MSPs, MPs, MEPs and activists are helping to make Renfrewshire, Scotland and the whole of Britain the country we all want.


Labour’s five point plan for jobs and growth

The Tory-led Government’s austerity plan is hurting, but it isn’t working.
.
There is a better way - a real plan for jobs and growth to get our economy moving again, and help get the deficit down in a steadier, more balanced way:
.
1: A £2 billion tax on bank bonuses to fund 100,000 jobs for young people – which they would be required to take-up – and build 25,000 more affordable homes.
.
2: Bringing forward long term investment projects – schools, roads and transport – to get people back to work and strengthen our economy for the future.
.
3: Reversing the Tory-led Government’s damaging VAT rise now for a temporary period – a £450 boost for a couple with children – immediate help for our high streets and for struggling families and pensioners.
.
4: A one year cut in VAT to 5% on home improvements, repairs and maintenance – to help homeowners and small  businesses.
.
5: A one year national insurance tax break for every small firm which takes on extra workers – helping small businesses to grow and create jobs.
.
