On Wednesday 27 May an ‘End Austerity Now’ protest is expected to take place outside of Downing Street to coincide with the Queen’s Speech.
Less than 48 hours after after the UK election results put David Cameron’s government back in power, anti-austerity campaigners were taking to the streets. The chancellor, George Osbourne has now called an emergency budget in July which is expected to spell out how the Conservatives will cut a further £12bn from Britain’s welfare bill.
With further anti-austerity demonstrations and rallies planned around the UK in the near future, we’d like to know whether you are planning on campaigning against austerity this summer.
