I welcome the chance to finally get rid of this hated Tory government and Lia Nici MP, but have no confidence that a Starmer Labour government will be much better.

Full statement

Starmer has watered down every manifesto commitment and promised “iron-clad fiscal responsibility” which means a continuation of 14 years of Tory austerity .

TUSC is standing as a voice for working class and young people disillusioned by all the establishment politicians and wanting a radical socialist alternative to the austerity and warmongering policies of the pro-capitalist parties.

I am a resident of Sidney Sussex ward. I work in cold storage and transport on Grimsby docks where I am workplace rep for Unite the union. Over the years, I have been involved in community and charity projects including clearing alleyways, planting trees in two local parks, helping and supporting a children’s food bank, and I am a director for KDARS, supporting children and their families suffering with kidney disease.

If elected, I pledges to only accept the average workers’ wage, not the £91,000 MPs’ salary! I will be a Socialist MP on a Workers Wage.
