OFF TO PARLIAMENT......

Next week the LRC has a Day of Action planned to coincide with the Budget Day and on the evening of Wednesday April 22 I will be chairing a meeting in the House Of Commons.
Our campaign - Their Crisis Not Ours! - is calling for a fairer tax system, a crackdown on tax avoidance, full nationalisation of the banks and an increase in pensions and unemployment benefit.
The campaign is also supportive of the People's Charter, backed by trade unions and a broad swathe of groups in the labour movement, which includes calls for more council housing, an end to repossessions, a cap on energy prices. and the return of the utilities to public ownership.
If you want to join in the day starts with a protest at 11.30am on Whitehall along the route the Chancellor will take from No. 11 Downing Street to address Parliament. At 5pm, there is a another protest outside the Treasury on 1 Horse Guards Road - then at 7.30pm a Budget Question Time event in Committee Room 10, House of Commons with panellists including John McDonnell MP, economist Graham Turner and Clara Osagiede (RMT Cleaner’s Grade Secretary).
