Promises

What UK parties and the government have promised, quoted word for word, and where each promise stands now. Every party is held to the same rules.

The government made 34 of the promises tracked here: 15 promised with nothing in a plan yet, 7 in a plan, 1 legislated, 1 funded, 5 being delivered and 5 delivered. Opposition parties made 19, from 6 parties: they are costed where a costing exists, so voters can compare, but cannot be delivered from opposition. Public bodies made 1: 1 being delivered.

A promise moves along its timeline only on evidence: a plan, a bill, money in a Budget, or delivery.
