Impact assessment on assisted suicide Bill worsens critics’ fears for vulnerable groups - focus on equal access to assisted death rather than risks of legalisation for oppressed groups wrongheaded, MPs and campaigners say. morningstaronline.co.uk/article/impa... #AssistedDying

This is right. We’ll see lots of spin today but don’t forget that Labour have created their own problems by arbitrarily sticking to “fiscal rules” that have punished working class communities & ensured that there won’t be a recovery for public services & decent social security 🙄

We tried to tell you. It won’t just take tinkering, it would take the complete reversal of the govts disastrous austerity policies. And tbh, it’s more likely that Labour will double down rather than reverse austerity, so join us on the streets on June 7: thepeoplesassembly.org.uk

Local elections highlight the need for 'positive answers': Left campaigners said that today’s local election results will show how the Labour leadership has “killed hope” by continuing Tory austerity. From The Morning Star: morningstaronline.co.uk/article/loca...

Welfare not warfare: no to austerity 2.0: Anya Cook writing for The People's Assembly North East. “Austerity wears people down. Poverty wears people down. Austerity is not an inevitability; it is a deliberate and political choice.” northeastbylines.co.uk/news/opinion...

‘If you were told to take an £8,000 pay cut by your employer, you'd be on strike too. Solidarity with the Birmingham bin workers.’ - Taj Ali

New FBU general secretary Steve Wright has called on Labour MPs to rebel on the government's welfare cuts when it comes to a vote next month. 👏👏👏 Cuts to disability benefits are due to leave millions of people thousands of pounds a year worse off. 👇

A message to scabs: “If you cross a picket line today, it will be your wages & conditions under attack by bosses tomorrow. If we don’t have each others backs, we don’t have anything.” #Birmingham #NoStrikeBreaking #NoMoreAusterity #StopTheCuts

‘Birmingham Council and Gove's commissioners have already made cruel cuts to SEND transport, Day Centres and drastically reduced Library hours. With 100% cuts to Arts and culture this year, what's next? We can't allow this to happen unchallenged.’ Lobby today at 12 noon, Victoria Square, Birmingham

From the FBU: “Solidarity with striking bin workers in Birmingham! We're advising members not to carry out any strike-breaking work. The FBU are in full support of striking refuse workers. Firefighters are humanitarians and trade unionists – we do not break strikes.”

Reeves's austerity mark II: we are being robbed, again. “Austerity was not a collective belt-tightening exercise, but a huge transfer of wealth upwards … As new research from Oxfam points out, the bonanza continues.” morningstaronline.co.uk/article/edit...

There were actions all over the UK today in protest at the Labour govt’s shameful attack on the poor. This was in Sheffield, where a group of People’s Assembly activists gathered to oppose these ruthless cuts. The opposition will mount & demos will grow. #WelfareNotWarfare

‘8 months on from being elected on the promise of “change”, we’re beginning to see what Labour’s version of that looks like: sweeping cuts to the benefits system that have outraged charities, claimants & backbenchers alike’ - Frances Ryan in the Guardian: www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

There are a hundred alternatives to targeting the disabled, the poorest & most vulnerable – such as taxing the rich, borrowing to invest, creating the finance for the long term recovery of the UK economy, the NHS & other public services. Austerity is a political choice.
