As the media attacks on Corbyn grow...

4 OCTOBER: MARCH
AGAINST AUSTERITY
T

he media and the Labour Partys

big wigs are going into overdrive
to undermine left wing MP Jeremy
Corbyns campaign to become Labour
leader.
Ex prime ministers Tony Blair and
Gordon Brown are calling for anyone
but Corbyn. But their claims that Jeremy
Corbyn would make Labour unelectable
ring hollow in the wake of Ed Milibands
electoral disaster last May.
Corbyn is popular because hes been
prepared to challenge austerity, rather
than ape Tory policies.
This week he called on his supporters
to join the TUC demo against austerity
and for workers rights at the Tory Party
conference in Manchester on 4 October.

Tory

We face a Tory government that wants

the cuts to continue for five more years.

Theyve raised the idea of boot camps

for the young unemployed.

They are attacking our right to organise

with the new Trade Union Bill.
Alongside the right wing press they
are stirring up racism by scapegoating
migrants.

Someone needs to lead a serious

fightback against Cameron and Co
and the hundreds who are packing into

The National Gallery strike has won solidarity across the movement

Jeremy Corbyns meetings are hoping he

might do the job.
It would be a big step forward for our
side if Corbyn wins. But even if he does
we cant wait until the next election to
resist the Tories.
We need a mass turn out at the Tory
Party conference and a huge demo
against the Trade Union Bill on 2
November (called by the TUC).

Migrants

We also need to resist the attempt

to scapegoat migrants around the
crisis at Calais. Its not migrants that
are cutting living standards its the
Tories and the bosses.

And we need to get behind workers

fighting back like the all out
strike at Londons National Gallery
against privatisation, the action at
the National Museum of Wales and
the strikes planned by workers at
First Great Western and London
Underground next week.

Mass

But in the end we will need the kind

of mass strikes that could halt the Tory
attacks for good.
We should all celebrate if Jeremy
Corbyn wins. But the Tories are on the
offensive now and we need resistance
now to stop them.
