“In our union we say this: ‘If there is money for supersonic missiles, there is money for school support staff’” @NEUnion General Secretary Daniel Kebede making the case for #WelfareNotWarfare at last night’s Eve of Budget demonstration. “We are not going to accept that they are going to spend money on bombs. We want it spent on children’s books. We want it spent on the school estate. We want it spent on alleviating the crushing burden of school poverty. And if they don’t, we’re going to fight them.” #BooksNotBombs #NoMoreAusterity

If not now then when? Details of Saturday’s demonstration now out. Please don’t just come but repost, share and spread the word everywhere. The majority of the population oppose Trump’s madness. Now we have to act to stop it.

"What scumbags are they? They’re in there doing your job, when you’re fighting to get wages up for everybody else, they should be ashamed of themselves." - Eddie Dempsey, @RMTunion, General Secretary speaking on the PCS #TateBritain Picket line. #PCSonStrike #PCS

"Our schools cannot take any more. Our children cannot take any more". Earlier this week @DanielKebedeNEU addressed the crowd at the People's Assembly protest ahead of the Budget. The Chancellor has done nothing to alleviate the crisis. We must fight to save our schools.

#Budget #Budget2026 Thank you to the activists who came out on the eve of the Budget determined to build a working class fight back on the cost of living crisis - and to build a mass movement for public ownership, peace, and wealth redistribution in Britain. #TaxTheRich #WelfareNotWarfare

JOINT STATEMENT FROM THE ALLIANCE OF NHS CAMPAIGNS The Autumn Budget is a massive disappointment to all those who desperately wanted Labour to demonstrate that it is on the side of ordinary people and committed to restoring the NHS. keepournhspublic.com/health-groups-…

Campaigners were out across the country today urging the government to tax wealth, reverse austerity and end the privatisation rip-off. #MakeTheRichPay #WelfareNotWarfare #Sheffield

“We want working class people in Britain, wherever they are, wherever their families have come from, to get what they deserve.” From Michael Bradley of @AntiRacismDay excellent contribution at the Eve of Budget protest. “The people to blame for the fact they’re not getting that are not refugees, are not the migrants- they are the rich that do not pay their way and the politicians that will not challenge the rich.” #RefugeesNotToBlame #MakeTheRichPay

Last year Labour suspended 7 MPs for six months for voting against the two-child benefit cap. Lifting the cap should be seen as a massive win for anti-poverty campaigners. Labour didn't scrap it out of kindness-they were pushed. #TaxTheRich

“We need a budget that is the interest of the working class" That means council housing! Well said, Daren Ireland, assistant general secretary of the @rmtunion, at @thepplsassembly demo before the announcement of the Budget. 📣Homes for people, not for profit! #WelfareNotWarfare

Yesterday at the @pplsassembly demo we spoke to @NEUnion members Robin and Melaney about what they wanted to see for education in today's Budget. Our schools are in crisis and need a funding boost – will @RachelReevesMP deliver?

"This Budget is the last chance to get things right, or Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves will be gone" - Fran Heathcote speaking at the Eve of Budget Protest by The People's Assembly last night outside Downing Street. #PeoplesBudget #PCS #Budget26 @pplsassembly

“We need a budget that is the interest of the working class.” Daren Ireland, assistant general secretary of the @rmtunion, at last nights @thepplsassembly demo before the announcement of the Budget. “We must reject more spending on weapons. We want peace in the world and we want that money not used for bombs but to be diverted to our communities so we can build council homes, fund hospitals, fund public services, and deliver for working class people.” #MakeTheRichPay #WelfareNotWarfare

“The whole idea that nuclear weapons and war are going to strengthen our economy is complete lies.” @CNDuk General Secretary Sophie Bolt speaking at the Peoples Assembly Eve of Budget demonstration last night. “We need to spend the money where it’s really needed- to tackle the climate change, to end the poverty we have in this country, and to really rebuild our public services. This is how you drive prosperity.” #NursesNotNukes #WelfareNotWarfare

The budget tomorrow will hit the poor and reward the rich again. We have to oppose the obscene amount of money going on weapons and war. We have to say we want #WelfareNotWarfare! @LindseyAGerman speaking at tonight's @pplsassembly eve of budget rally at Downing Street
