Is the PM making progress towards his key policies?

Before and since taking power, the prime minister has set out lists of milestones, missions, targets and pledges - things he wants the country to achieve under his leadership.

We have broken down some that have been repeated most consistently and started tracking them. They have been split into two groups - things that relate to specific policy areas, and things that relate to money.

Every time the data is updated, our charts will update. How we are measuring progress Illegal migration: Labour's promise - "smash" people smuggling gangs and reduce Channel crossing numbers This is one of the easier ones to track as the Home Office publishes daily updates on the number of people arriving in the UK on small boats.

Historically, the numbers have tended to be highest in the summer and lower again at times when the weather is not so good. We are showing a cumulative annual total so you can compare where we are in the current year against where we were at the same point in previous years.

Healthcare: Labour's promise - no more than 8% of patients will wait longer than 18 weeks for elective treatment This target only refers to England, because healthcare is a devolved power that the national governments of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are responsible for delivering in their countries. NHS England publishes monthly data on waits for elective care, dating back almost 20 years.

There was a period in the 2010s when this target was met consistently. But following that, wait times grew gradually but steadily for several years, and then rapidly following the COVID pandemic.

Despite what looks like limited movement on the chart so far, the Health Foundation say the government are currently on track with delivering this ambitious target. They add that serious effort will need to be sustained to get it over the line.

Housebuilding: Labour's promise - build 1.5 million homes by the time of the next election This target also only applies to England. It's equivalent to an average of 300,000 per year, although Labour have always said that delivery will not be linear and they expect to make up a shortfall in their last couple of years in power.

The official data for the number of new homes added - taking into account any that have been demolished or are no longer habitable, and any converted (for example from commercial to residential) - is only published once a year, usually in about November, referring to the previous financial year. There is data published more regularly, however, on the number of Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) granted.

Because each new home needs to be issued an EPC, the number of EPCs granted and houses built usually match each other quite closely. In our chart, we use EPCs as a representative measure to forecast how many homes have been built, which is replaced by official data when that becomes available.

According to that, about 200,000 houses were added during Labour’s first year in power. That means they will need to average 325,000 for the remaining four years to deliver on their target.

Clean power: Labour's promise - at least 95% of energy from low carbon sources by 2030 We are measuring this pledge using data from the National Energy System Operator, an independent public body that plans and manages the energy network. It tells us what proportion of energy used in Great Britain comes from various sources, including low-carbon options like wind, solar and nuclear.

The government say that when it judges whether it has achieved its target, it will adjust for the weather, meaning the threshold may actually be slightly higher or lower than 95% depending on how sunny or windy it is at the time. It has not confirmed exactly how it is going to do that, however, so we are just publishing the raw figures, consolidating data published every half-hour into a monthly average.

The Climate Change Committee, an independent body that advises government on tackling climate change, say the target is possible but will be difficult to achieve, and there is "little room for error". Violent crime: Labour's promise - halve serious violent crime, including knife crime and violence against women and girls (VAWG), within 10 years This is the least well fleshed out of the policy targets.

The government has said a few times that it intends to halve knife crime and VAWG within a decade, but there are a few different ways of measuring each of these and more than a year after coming to power, the government has still not confirmed which it is going to use. We do know that the pledge refers only to England and Wales, because the justice system in Scotland and Northern Ireland is devolved.

At the moment, we are using "police recorded crime" data published by the Home Office. We add together all crimes categorised as "violence against the person.
