    Labour's 'fair future' manifesto


    The Welsh Labour Party will promise "a future fair for all" as it launches its manifesto in Cardiff later.It will include a "fair funding guarantee" for the Welsh budget, more jobs through new technologies and protection of frontline services.

    Leader Carwyn Jones is expected to stress that for him the election is about a simple choice between Labour and the Conservatives.

    He will say no one else can win and form a government at Westminster.

    At the launch Mr Jones is expected to say that every vote is crucial as Labour battles to hold on to the 29 Welsh seats it won in the 2005 election.

    He will say the party is working hard to secure the economic recovery and in protecting frontline services.

    Literacy programme

    He will say Labour is supporting new industries and future jobs and speaking up for Wales in the UK.

    Pledges are expected to include a national literacy programme, a key worker for cancer sufferers and bringing forward proposals on affordable housing.

    There will also be a "fair funding guarantee for Wales".

    Mr Jones is expected to keep up the attack on the Conservatives, saying that a vote for them would put Wales' future at risk.


    He will claim a Conservative victory would bring "a programme of swift and savage cuts" creating "a real danger" that the Welsh economy would "slide into a second, far tougher, and more damaging recession".This article is from the BBC News website. ?
