It outlines specific, measurable targets in delivering this government’s manifesto commitments to getting the NHS back on its feet, putting more police on the street and recruiting more teachers in our schools.

I don't believe Sky have ever got their #F1 intro music right. It's supposed to build the hype. Just can't get behind some angry violin intro, or whatever it is.
