10 years of Tory cuts devastated our public services, depressed wages and led to grotesque levels of poverty and inequality. Yet over 1 year into the Labour Government, austerity policies have continued, including disability benefit cuts, cutting the Winter Fuel Allowance and the failure to scrap the cruel two-child benefit cap.

This event will look at the socialist economic policies which are an alternative to never-ending cuts - including extending public ownership and ending the privatisation rip-off; a further expansion of workers’ rights to shift power in the economy; a Green revolution and taxing wealth to pay for high-quality, public services for all.

Lunch & refreshments provided. Hosted by Arise – A Festival of Left Ideas, Claim the Future & Labour Assembly Against Austerity. Open to all. Free event but solidarity donations essential to hosting costs.
