The Labour party is set to release its general election manifesto later today.
At an event in the West Midlands, due to start at 11.30am, prime minster Gordon Brown will set out the policies he will fight on.
Brown will say that Labour's manifesto is "ambitious but affordable, bold but realistic, and learns from the lessons we take from our experience to date".
"This cannot, and will not, be a 'business as usual' election or manifesto.
"There are no big new spending commitments, but there is a determination for every penny to be used wisely, and, as present plans make clear, to give the maximum protection to frontline public services."
There will be a pledge not to raise income tax, a one-week guarantee to get a cancer diagnosis for NHS patients in England and a right to a job for the long-term unemployed.
The manifesto will also offer more parental rights such as a ballot on school leadership and a commitment to build 10,000 council houses a year.
