I welcome the chance to finally get rid of this hated Tory government but have no confidence that a Starmer Labour government will be much different.

Full statement

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

But the Greens are not a radical alternative - here in Sheffield they have shown that they are part of the establishment by joining the “co-operative council” with Labour and the Lib-Dems that continues to carry out Tory cuts in local services.

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 young trade unionist and community campaigner. I have experience in unionising low wage, zero hour and part time workers and am currently involved in the Hillsborough Save Our Parks campaign organising community resistance to the privatisation of Sheffield’s green spaces. I have demonstrated against the Israeli state terror on Gaza and call for stopping arms sales to Israel and an end to the occupation of Palestine.

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