The welfare state is being dismantled by the coalition government,
bringing great suffering to the most vulnerable in society and eroding
the living conditions of millions of ordinary people. Worse still, the
Labour Party is not presenting a strong opposition to austerity and
instead appears to have wholeheartedly adopted neo-liberal policy,
advocating its own brand of austerity and privatisation.
Ken Loach's The Spirit of '45 gives us a perspective on the achievements of the post-war generation,
transforming the lives of ordinary people by bringing improved health,
housing, education and social security to the people of Britain. We need
to defend these achievements and continue the tradition of protecting
the most vulnerable in society.
Support Ken Loach's appeal to discuss the formation of a new
political party of the Left to bring together those who wish to defend
the welfare state and present an economic alternative to austerity:
