Labour doing something meaningful and stopping their attempt to cater to conservative immigration ideas would make young people vote Labour. A wealth tax would help too.
Seems unlikely, with a quick look at YouGov. 47% of 18-24 year olds thought immigration was generally a little or much too high, with 28% don't know.

nope. the greens finally seem like a viable alternative for young people. labour has spent too long chasing the Nazi vote

Worsening the regressiveness of the tax system, where the poor pay far far higher, deep into their cost of living.
It won't solve anyone's immediate problems, but it'd be a good thing to do.
