This Saturday we served Theresa May notice... it's time for her to step aside. Her coalition of chaos must end now. Over 100,000 people joined us in central London called with only three weeks notice.
Thank you to all those who spent hours leafleting, organising and networking to get people there. Thank you to all the Unions & campaigns who supported and donated to make sure it could happen. Thank you to all the volunteers on the day. Thank you to the speakers and performers. Thank you to everyone who came!
Check out this fantastic video of the day which gives a great feel for the positive energy and political anger that was palpable on the day.

We were joined by a fantastic line up of speakers and artists, including, Jeremy Corbyn MP, John McDonnell MP, Diane Abbott MP, Sian Berry, Mark Serwotka, Len McCluskey, Shy FX, Captain Ska, Wolf Alice, Get Cape. Wear Cape Fly, Peace, Sink the Pink and so much more... This is what we can do with only three weeks to organise, just think what we'll be able to pull off for our week of action during the Tory Party Conference in Manchester this coming October.
What is Next?
We now have to shift our attention on to the Conservative Party conference Saturday 30th September - Wednesday 4th October in Manchester.
We're planning on a week of politics, culture and protest like nothing we've ever done before, including a massive National demonstration on Sunday 1 October, the day the Tory Party conference starts. In 2015 we held 'Take Back Manchester' which brought in thousands from all over the country... this time we need to build on that, and make sure they know they're politics of austerity, racism and war mongering are not welcome there.
We'll be mobilising from across the country to get people there. If you're in or around the Manchester area we're holding an open planning meeting for the week of action on 18 July, please do come along to get involved. Details here
Look out for updates coming soon.
To do this we need your help
It's become clear that the Tories are weaker and weaker, unable to pursue the vicious policies they put forward in their Manifesto of Misery. This is because of enormous political pressure, both from the opposition in parliament and public opinion. It's our responsibility to continue to make sure that opposition on the streets is felt, the big mobilisations have a huge impact on national politics right now.
To continue to do this we need to raise as much money as possible - we're asking everyone to donate whatever you feel you can each month so we can put on more events and actions like we did last Saturday. However small or large an amount you can afford, it all makes a huge difference to what we can achieve.

See you in Manchester!

J-DAY!!!!
Jeremy is now our beloved Prime Minister, along with Kier negotiating our exit (or maybe another referendum), Diane as Home Sec and so on.
But, er, just a minute, isn’t that blasted woman still there?
Isn’t Jeremy still on the sidelines doing everything he can to oust the nasty party including derailling Brexit negotiations. Its a bit like watching our Nicky Sturgeon desperately trying to anger the English so they have a referendum on throwing us Scots out of the UK. Whatever he does (Jeremy that is) has nothing really to do with it being the best for Britain, its all about getting his way.
Take for example the outcry about Trump. As a protest, reasonable. As a policy, abysmal. Imagine in 2 years time with Labour at the helm, the US would have closed down trade deal negotiations as The Donald is as stable as Jeremy is a realist.
So, if Michael Eavis is to be believed, Jeremy said 6 months. Its 6 months later and no, he’s not in power. Time for a re-evaluation then. Perhaps Jeremy has borrowed time from the world clock and actually 6 months means 16 months. This is probably just the same tactic as borrowing from the world bank as if Jezzers was our leader then in 16 years we’d all be in massive trouble again and the sick man of Europe (again) Anyone remember the 60’s?

There’s an increasingly small matter of a general election but that’s neither here nor there. What we should all be looking forward to is tearing up this rubbish agreement that Theresa has negotiated and getting down to agreeing basically the same thing but with a lot more money thrown in.
What is almost deafening is the total lack of disagreement from within the Labour party. Are there no remoaners or ardent brexiteers amongst the throng of MPs who “will be ministers soon” or are they all just keeping shtum in case some degree of free thinking should slip out? Careful boys and girls, the bogeyman from Momentum will get you if you put one foot out of line.
Anyway, with Jeremy standing up in front of all those EU leaders the other day, making a powerful speach on the agreements that had been reached and getting a round of applause, we needn’t worry, he’s already got the process well in hand. But, er, just a mimute, he wasn’t actually in Brussels was he but doing another photo shoot for GQ!!
So who will be in N°10 on Boxing day, any odds offered?
All the best for a Merry Christmas

But, er, just a minute, more people actually voted for the nasty party than for Jeremy’s Giants so does that mean that the People’s representatives are actually in power already?
Sorry for such a brief posting but I’m actually away on-site with a customer so really busy.
Looking forward to Boxing Day and Mr Corbyn eating his words

So, if you feel the key traits of Great Britain, – free trade, racial and religious tolerance, rule of law from an elected government – are just too “last century” and you want the UK to shuffle off the world stage and leave defending these unworthy goals to someone else then . . .

The omissions on race relations from the much vaunted manifesto – not a problem to a master paper hanger, a bit of pollyfilla and a lot of paste plus that new anaglypta that Laura likes so much. Anti-semitism? Not in Old Labour, surely . . .
If I was Jeremy, I would be looking to augment my cabinet with junior ministers and key advice staff. Id be recruiting from Trades Union veterans and hard left university academics, you know, those people who have never held a position of responsibility in a company but are at the forefront of telling others who do, what they should be doing.
Role December 26th and the destruction of British industry.

You DO NOT STAND FOR THE WORKING CLASS. Stop pretending that you give damn. You’re all just in it to justify and fuel you’re left wing extremism. I know exactly what sort of people go on these marches, selfish, immature, spoilt entitled/privileged snobs.
Meanwhile the rest of us working class keep the country ticking over and moving, without complaining and stamping our feet. Carry on with you’re self indulgent,sycophantic ’it’s all about me’ rubbish if you want. Pathetic.
Final point – remove the word “Austerity” in each of your pages, fliers, banners, etc. and put in “Financial Common Sense” because this appears to be more in keeping with your aims
