No Holding Back

The ruling class are waging war on workers. This weekend hundreds of thousands of workers are fighting back. I will be on the picket lines. Will every single one of you?

UK billionaires increased their wealth by over £55 billion last year. UK workers real wages are set to fall by almost 8% this year. Wealth doesn’t trickle down, it’s hoovered up.

The Tories answer to everything • corporate tax cuts • privatisation • attacks on workers rights. These policies have left working people poorer and our country more unequal. How about trying the opposite?

The left have the correct analysis and arguments before the mainstream media even reports issues such as this.

Very sad to hear of that Giles Radice has passed away. Although we disagreed politically, he was a great thinker and partly inspired our first paper "Northern Discomfort". His seminal work "Southern Discomfort" continues marks our current political discourse.

There’s a famous quote from the billionaire businessman, Warren Buffet, where he says: “There’s class warfare, all right, but it’s my class, the rich class, that’s making war, and we’re winning.” Look around the UK today and you can see the working class is fighting back.

Ever wondered why Westminster seems so disconnected from the lives of working people? A new report from @IPPR finds that just 7% of MPs come from working class occupational backgrounds. Only 1% of Tory MPs and just 13% of Labour MPs. This needs to change.

For the avoidance of doubt I support a publicly owned Rail Network. Mail, Energy and Water too.

In the last couple of days we have all felt the full force of climate change. But its impact is not felt equally. Climate change is a class issue 👇

Working class people face systemic barriers to personal progress. We need root and branch transformation of how our country works

The Boris Johnson circus is coming to an end. But now we must defeat Toryism. labouroutlook.org/2022/07/08/wit…

Boris Johnson’s time is up. But this isn’t just about the Prime Minister. This whole rotten government needs to go.

Let me tell you @BorisJohnson will board himself inside Downing Street and will have to be dragged out with a crane and a tow rope before he resigns. 🤷‍♂️

As Tory privatisation of the NHS has accelerated since 2012, the number of patients dying of treatable causes has “significantly increased” - according to analysis published in The Lancet. It is a moral duty to take back control of our NHS from the greedy profiteers.

The working class is under attack from above. We must show solidarity with the workers who are fighting back. tribunemag.co.uk/2022/06/rail-s…

To avoid any doubt I will support the pickets tomorrow. Railway workers kept the country moving during Covid - as did many others - we owe them respect, thanks, and decent treatment.
