We're in the middle of a deep cost-of-living emergency for millions. Yet Keir Starmer & Rachel Reeves (like their predecessors) have shown they are more interested in doing the bidding of their rich backers than our jobs and livelihoods.

As the crisis looks set to deepen, we need to mobilise now for policies that could address the depth of whatwe 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.
