The
Trade Unionist and Socialist Coalition (TUSC) is an electoral
alternative supported by leading figures in the rail, teaching, civil
service, prison officers and fire-fighters trade unions, along with
many socialist parties and groups.
Jon
Redford, South East Regional Secretary of the Socialist Party, will
be standing in the East Brighton by-election. Jon
was one of the principal organisers of the local demonstrations
against the government's implementation of student fees in 2010.
“I
am standing on a platform of opposing ALL cuts. The Con Dem
government has subjected us to attacks on pensions, services, jobs,
and welfare. However there is no alternative available to working and
poor people; the Labour Party supports the cuts and offers no way to
challenge them. The Green Party is administering cuts in Brighton,
again with no strategy to fight back.
“Cuts
are not necessary; the money is there in society not only to stop the
cuts but to improve public services through investment. Tax avoidance
and evasion by the rich costs the economy £120 billion a year.
“The
government must not be allowed to get away with anything without
being challenged by the people whose lives they are affecting. As a
TUSC councillor I will do everything I can to build a movement and
campaign against every attack to the community and individuals.”
