Defend the heath service and support its largest ever strikes
All those who support the public services should actively promote these strikes, alongside the political demands that provide solutions to the current crisis.

Tory plans for growth are a fiction – the left needs an alternative
This government talks about growth but will only deliver further stagnation and renewed attacks on the living standards of the majority.
Any plan for sustainable growth and prosperity must include a radical break from current policies. There is no sign that this Labour leadership is prepared to deliver that.
Support the strikes and build the 1 February Day Of Action
The strike wave is growing and the TUC is calling a day of national action on 1 February, in opposition to new anti-union laws.
Build support this mass anti-austerity struggle.
Step up support for the strike wave
The unions’ fight back against the attacks on living standards, have extended into this year.
Labour movement and other progressive activists should step up their activity in support of this growing anti-austerity struggle.
The price of gas and the costs of war
The UK energy consumer price inflation rate is more than double the OECD average. The Tory government is blaming the Ukraine war, when the dizzyingly high level of energy price inflation is down to UK government policy choices. Labour should back the TUC’s proposals as they would help tackle this energy cost crisis.
The Americanisation project is made explicit, while the strike wave grows
The ‘Americanising’ of the British economy and society:
attack real wages and living standards; anti-strike legislation; further privatisation especially of the NHS; roll-back of efforts to tackle climate change; renewed deregulation of the City of London; and whipping up a frenzy against migrants and refugees to act as a distraction.
