Health and education reforms are also key, with promises for NHS backlogs and new teachers. Environmental plans differ, with Labour targeting net-zero emissions and Conservatives continuing fossil fuel extraction. Immigration and housing policies vary, while policing reforms include more officers and technology.

In education, Labour wants 6,500 new teachers and free breakfast clubs, Conservatives propose mandatory maths study to 18, while Greens envision scrapping university tuition and Ofsted.

On the environment, Labour seeks to decarbonize the electricity grid by 2030 with Great British Energy and National Wealth Fund, whereas Conservatives plan continued North Sea oil and gas extraction with green technology investments.

Lib Dems push for home insulation and heat pumps, and Greens for canceling new oilfield licenses.

On immigration, Conservatives focus on deportation flights to Rwanda and cutting net migration, Labour plans new border security command, and Lib Dems and Greens support safe and legal routes for asylum seekers.

Housing promises range from Conservative's 1.6m new homes to Labour's restored local targets and Lib Dems' 150,000 new social rent homes annually.
