Bringing the left together to say enough is enough!
June 8 will see a major rally bringing together forces across the left ahead of the TUC We Demand Better demonstration writes MATT WILLGRESS

ALTHOUGH it doesn’t often get into the corporate media, opposition to the Boris Johnson government is not limited to — or primarily coming from — those Tory backbenchers who have expressed their belief that he should resign in recent weeks and months.

The real situation is that in workplaces and communities across the land, more and more people are saying enough is enough, and that this is fuelling a swing in public opinion against the hard-right Prime Minister.

Whether it be how Johnson partied while tens of thousands died due to their disastrous handling of the Covid pandemic, the weekly examples of surreptitious authoritarianism such as the Public Order Bill, designed to shackle the right to resist, or the “too little, too late” response to the ever-deepening cost-of-living crisis, people can increasingly see through the Tory spin.
