Britain is not immune to the crisis that is crashing through Europe. More than half of Britain’s trade is with the European Union (EU). Now Italy’s economy is reaching a tipping point. And this is making for some very nervous bankers in the City of London.
The planned strikes on 30 November are our chance to tell the Tories what they can do with their austerity plans. Millions of workers across Britain are getting organised for the biggest strike here for decades.
The Tories will force nearly a million people off incapacity benefits and leave 600,000 with no benefits at all, according to new research. Nearly 2.6 million claimants currently receive the benefit.
Every day the Tories launch some new assault on ordinary people. Their solution to the ongoing swirl of economic crisis is to force through as many attacks on workers as they can.
