UNIONS will confront Labour’s cuts agenda next month with a national demonstration demanding the party change course.

The People’s Assembly held a press conference today to call on the whole labour movement to march with it at the No More Austerity demonstration in London on Saturday June 7.

The march takes place days before Chancellor Rachel Reeves is to announce her first multi-year spending settlement on June 11, and is intended to maximise pressure on the government to drop Ms Reeves’ self-imposed fiscal rules, tax wealth and profits and raise spending to address funding crises across health, education, local government and many other sectors.
