Trade Unionist and Socialist Coalition local elections conference 2021 - Opening speeches
Fighting back against the Tories and Starmer's New Labour - including at the ballot box!
Sunday 7th February 2021
Over 550 attended the online conference of the Trade Unionist and Socialist Coalition (TUSC) on 7 February in preparation for the local elections in May. Dave Nellist, TUSC national spokesperson, was in the chair. He explained that the conference was meeting "at a pivotal political moment, against the background of a decade of austerity." And that "if there is nobody in May challenging why austerity should continue, it's just going to be a debate between establishment parties on how austerity should be imposed."
Dave introduced contributions from representatives of the component parts of the TUSC steering committee: the transport union RMT, the Socialist Party, Resist, and a representative of individual socialists involved in TUSC
RMT union - Jared Wood
Socialist Party - Hannah Sell
Individual members of TUSC representative - Pete McLaren
Resistance Movement - Dave Roberts
