This is a fork-in-the road moment, with Andy Burnham entering Number 10 on the promise of change. Come to this major Left event to discuss the alternative economics and politics needed – irreversibly shifting the balance of power and wealth in favour of working people.

Come together to say there is an economic alternative. It includes extending public ownership and ending privatisation; expanding of workers’ rights to shift power; a Green revolution and taxing wealth to pay for public services for all – defeating Reform with socialist policies.
