We're in the middle of a deep cost-of-living emergency for millions. Yet Keir Starmer & Rachel Reeves (like their predecessors) showed they were more interested in doing the bidding of their rich backers than our jobs and livelihoods. Now, with a new Prime Minister - who says this will be a "cost-of-living" focussed administration -  we must again demand change!

As the crisis deepens, we need to mobilise now for policies that could address the depth of what we face, including these 10 measures:

☑️ Control costs and for the right to food – energy price freezes now back at April 2022 rates; enshrine the right to food in law; universal free school meals. Rent controls plus price controls for food and other essentials.

☑️ 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. 

☑️ Wealth taxes and extra resources to create universal public services – stop cuts and privatisation; Save our NHS - for a national care service; for free education; properly fund local government, plus an in-sourcing revolution. Tax wealth to fund services.

☑️ Welfare not warfare, Wages not weapons – no more 'magic money tree' for war, nukes and weapons of destruction. As TUC policy says, prioritse investing in people and planet.

☑️  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 universal social security system to end poverty - scrap all proposed disability benefit cuts; boost and inflation-proof benefits; for a minimum income guarantee. 

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

☑️ 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 all the anti-trade union laws and repeal the draconian anti-protest laws; for a second Employment Rights Act, 'finishing the job' for full union rights to bargain for better pay and conditions.

☑️ End austerity for good - invest in our future with a Green revolution - 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.
