Rest assured whether it is in this group considering joining the new […]

The rich get richer. The poor get poorer. So long as capitalism exists this will always be the case.

With the government’s announcement of billions of £s worth of cuts to the social security system, austerity continues as it has done for the last 15 years. Meanwhile the government continues to spend money on so called investments in infrastructure, energy and building non-social housing all of which will ultimately just end up enabling the […]

Recently the Prime Minster said the following about Britain’s social security system “Sir Keir Starmer has called the current benefits system unsustainable, indefensible and unfair…”. We feel it is important to correct misinformation. So to that end we would remind the Prime Minister it is the capitalist system he is acting in support of which […]

A picture of text that reads as follows. Labour, Lib Dems, Greens and Tories! All of them over the years have voted in favour of cuts in Stockport! All of them only oppose cuts in words alone! Want councillors who will oppose cuts with actions and not just words? Then join us in building a new party in Stockport!

Another Year. And Yet More Cuts In Stockport.

Yet another year. Yet another February. Yet another budget council meeting in Stockport. And yet again instead of opposing austerity in any meaningful way, a majority of councillors meekly put their hands up and vote for more cuts. Along with yet another hike in council tax to pay for getting less in return. As a […]

Apparently, we all got it wrong. The Tory Party won the last election by rebranding into the Labour Party. At least we could be forgiven for thinking this is the case. The previous government spent 15 years telling us cut after cut after cut would ‘help spur economic growth’ and ‘in the long-term things will […]

The card reads as follows:‘I write this message far later […]
