Imagine a country...

Imagine a country where almost 90% of people describe themselves as satisfied with their lives.

Where 95 per cent say they are close to their families and 76 per cent are confident about their personal futures.

A country that is markedly better off than a decade before, with 600,000 fewer people in poverty and 1m fewer on out-of-work benefits.

A country with universal free healthcare and the highest recorded level of satisfaction with that service, with waiting times the lowest for 40 years.

A country which most people think is a good place to raise children and where most children are felt to have far better prospects than their parents had before them.

That country is Great Britain after eleven years of a Labour government. Now it's time to start help making St Helens a Labour town again and reverse the growing problems of the past two years.

The Labour Party - best for Great Britain, best for St Helens.
