We are in the middle of the deepest cost-of-living crisis in generations, yet the Tories are more interested in doing the bidding of their rich backers than saving lives, jobs and livelihoods. We need to mobilse now for urgent action, including these 10 measures:

☑️  Britain needs a pay rise - National Minimum Wage raised to at least £15 an hour for all; the pay rise public sector workers are asking for; increase Statutory Sick Pay to a real living wage for all from day one.

☑️  A social security system to end poverty - reverse the Universal Credit cut and extend the uplift to legacy benefits; boost & inflation-proof benefits; for a minimum income guarantee.

☑️ Control costs – energy price freezes now at April 2022 rates, cap rents and basic food costs.

☑️ Stop the corporate rip-off - public ownership of energy, water, transport, broadband and mail to bring bills down and end fuel poverty. Lower public transport costs. Higher taxes on profits and the super-rich. Open the books – back the workers’ commission on profiteering.

☑️ Extra resources to create universal, comprehensive public services – stop cuts and privatisation; Save our NHS - for a national care service; properly fund local government.

☑️ Homes for all - no evictions or repossessions; tackle the homelessness emergency; fix the housing crisis with a mass council house building programme.

☑️ For the right to food – enshrine the right to food in law; universal free school meals all year; for a National Food Service.

☑️ Decent jobs for all – for full employment; end insecure working and ban zero-hours contracts; for the right to flexible work on workers’ not bosses’ terms.

☑️ Defend and extend our right to organise - reverse anti-trade union laws and repeal the anti-protest laws; ban fire-and-rehire; for full union rights to bargain for better pay and conditions.

☑️ End austerity for good - invest in our future with a Green New Deal - end the dependency on fossil fuels and soaring oil and gas prices; for a massive investment in renewables, green infrastructure and jobs; insulate buildings to bring bills down.
