			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2><span style="font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal;"><strong>Remember that Labour will:</strong></span></h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Support jobs with money raised from repeating the bank bonus tax</strong> &#8211; not hold back recovery with the VAT rise and cuts that will put almost one million workers out of their jobs.</li>
<li><strong>Protect police numbers</strong> &#8211; not cut them while wasting Â£100 million on new elected police commissioners.</li>
<li><strong>Protect your frontline local services</strong> â€“ not make unfair cuts which will hit the least well off the most.</li>
<li><strong>Get the deficit down through strong growth and sensible cuts</strong> â€“ not by slashing too far, too fast, and putting your local economy at risk.</li>
<li><strong>Stand up for young people</strong> &#8211; not kick away the ladder by tripling tuition fees; scrapping EMAs; cancelling Building Schools for the Future; and slashing school sport</li>
</ul>
