A major Left event on the alternative economic strategy we need.

John McDonnell MP // Apsana Begum MP // Matt Wrack, NASUWT General Secretary // Sarah Woolley, BFAWU GS // Gawain Little, GFTU GS// Zita Holbourne, BARAC (Black Activists Rising Against Cuts) // Andrew Fisher, ‘Ipaper’ columnist // Costas Lapavitsas, Professor of Economics, SOAS.

This is a fork-in-the road moment for Britain, with Andy Burnham entering Number 10 on the promise of restoring hope. Come and discuss the alternative economics and politics needed for real change - irreversibly shifting the balance of power and wealth in favour of working people.

This is THE alternative to never-ending cuts - including extending public ownership; a further expansion of workers’ rights to shift power; a Green revolution and taxing wealth to pay for high-quality, public services for all.

This has become a must-attend annual event – see you there!

Lunch & refreshments provided. Hosted by Arise – A Festival of Left Ideas and the General Federation of Trade Unions (GFTU). Open to all. Free event but solidarity donations essential to hosting costs.
