Every extra pound poured into warfare is a pound stripped from welfare and the services that keep us alive and dignified; we should be clear: we demand welfare, not warfare. @Ramonamac @pplsassembly on why we are rallying at Downing St on Tuesday ahead of the budget #WelfareNotWarfare

Join @DanielKebedeNEU, General Secretary of @NEUnion at the EVE OF THE BUDGET PROTEST -Tuesday, 25 NOV. -6PM -Downing Street Our education system is in crisis. Austerity has resulted in years of real terms pay cuts for teachers. Meanwhile teacher supply agencies are profiting from public funds and exploiting the workforce with pay below national pay scales. There’s money to invest in military spending and war but 74% of schools have less funding since 2010. Join the protest for a People’s Budget on Tuesday! #BooksNotBombs #StopTheAgencyRipOff

The Labour government’s continuation of the Tories’ agenda of austerity is pushing millions into poverty and tearing our communities apart. Let’s tax the rich and build a society that works for the many, not just the wealthy few. independent.co.uk/bulletin/n…

➡️What @graceblakeley says 👇🏼 ➡️Let’s keep the pressure on Starmer’s Labour government. We refuse to accept their Austerity 2.0, the growing inequality, and the refusal to tax the rich. Austerity is a political and ideological choice NOT a necessity. We must resist! Join the National Demo 7/6/25, and let’s build a powerful and united anti austerity movement. ➡️For transport details and more, see our website: thepeoplesassembly.org.uk ➡️Alternatively, speak to your union branch regarding transport to the demo as it’s highly likely your union is supporting this demo. #TaxTheRich #welfarenotwarfare #nocuts

It is an absolute scandal that @AndyMcDonaldMP has been suspended from the Labour Party for saying: "We won’t rest until we have justice, until all people, Israelis and Palestinians, between the river and the sea can live in peaceful liberty."
