With the budget approaching, and over 1 year into a Labour Government, austerity policies have continued, including disability benefit cuts and the failure to scrap the cruel two-child benefit cap.

This event will look at the Left's alternative economic policies which are an alternative to forever cuts - including extending public ownership and ending the privatisation rip-off; a further expansion of workers’ rights to shift power in the economy; a green revolution; and taxing wealth to pay for high-quality, public services for all.

Michael Roberts kicks off the monthly 'Marx Matters' event series - was Nye Bevan right, wrong, or both when he said “Marxism put into the hands of the working class movement... the most complete blueprints for political action the world has ever seen?”

Michael worked in the City of London as an economist for over 40 years. He has closely observed the machinations of global capitalism from within the dragon’s den. At the same time, he was a political activist in the labour movement for decades. Since retiring, he has written several books including The Great Recession – a Marxist view (2009); The Long Depression (2016); Marx 200: a review of Marx’s economics (2018).

Marx Matters is a series of in-person and online talks from prominent writers on Marxism exploring the relevance of Marx's work today. You can buy a ticket to help fund the whole series here: https://bit.ly/MarxMattersTickets

Lenin lies in a tomb in Moscow, yet his teachings are still reviled by 'mainstream' politics 100 years since his death.

Mike Jackson, Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners; Kate Flannery and Chris Peace, Orgreave Truth & Justice Campaign; and Gary Clark, the artistic director of the eponymous theatre and dance company behind "COAL" and "WASTELAND."

Fighting oppression an injustice has inspired many artists and musicians to connect with political struggle and inspired creativity amongst many activists.

As well as the support for the miners' strike that came from many groups who were experiencing the same oppression and hostility from the police, government and media of the day, many artists and musicians were proactive and vocal about their support for the miners, their families and their communities.

The deeply unpopular Tory Government has had a major authoritarian shift - yet more anti-protest laws go alongside criminalising climate campaigners taking direct action, draconian further restrictions on our right to strike, and the so-called Public Order Bill - a new assault, on top of years of attacks, on our basic civil liberties and democratic rights. Tune in and defend our #RightToStrike and #RightToResist.
