The working class in Britain faces an avalanche of cuts. The spending review on 20 October must be met with outrage and action, not paralysis and surrender.

On Wednesday 20 October, ­millionaire Tory chancellor George Osborne will unleash a torrent of attacks on jobs and services.

Thousands of trade unionists, students and campaigners filled the streets of central Birmingham last Sunday, defying pouring rain to join the Right to Work march on the Tory party conference.

The Birmingham demonstration was a very welcome boost to the resistance against the Tories.

The Tories want to dismantle the welfare state. And they are trying to minimise opposition to their plans by making a huge play about tackling the benefits of the "rich".

The Tories this week said they were sharing the pain of the cuts and targeting the better off.

The Tories are launching an assault on health and safety laws.

Trade unionists and campaigners across Britain are planning demonstrations on 19, 20 and 23 October to show their opposition to Tory spending cuts.

‘I was incredibly struck by the feeling that people think the Tories genuinely enjoy this cutting’
