Lets sweep aside Labour's austerity in Haringey and across the UK. Recently the Labour Administration in Haringey voted through another £53m worth of cuts on top of the £143m of cuts inflicted on Haringey since 2010. TUSC opposes these cuts as we do the 4.99% council tax increase. TUSC stands for: 1. Oppose all cuts and closures to council services, jobs, pay and conditions. Resist their privatisation or transfer to ‘arms-length’ organisations which are the first steps to privatisation. 2. Reject council tax, rent and service charge increases for working-class people to make up for cuts in government funding. 3.Vote for councils to set no-cuts budgets and demand from the Labour government the money to make up any shortfall. 4. Refuse to co-operate with any commissioners sent by government to try to cut local services. 5.Support only democratically debated local Climate Emergency plans that create new employment, build flood defences, and improve air quality and the local environment, while protecting the jobs, pay and living standards of all workers. 6.Fight for united working-class struggle against racism, sexism, and all forms of oppression, including against refugees and asylum seekers. Back all workers’ struggles against government policies making ordinary people pay for the crisis. ■ WE NEED SOCIALIST POLICIES FOR THE BENEFIT OF ALL – NOT THE BILLIONAIRES!
