For The Rich By The Rich

November 25, 2016

According to Tory spin doctors working families were given ‘jam’ this week in the Autumn statement. In reality Tory chancellor Hammond has chosen tax cuts for corporations and the rich, rather than putting money in the pockets of ordinary workers. Low-income families are going to be much worse off by the end of the decade. Most of the cuts planned by Osborne are going ahead as planned through freezing in-work benefits, rolling out universal credit and slashing disability payments. According to the parliamentary register of interests the former chancellor has been earning up to £81,000 a time addressing US banks and other financial institutions. In one month alone Osborne made more than £300,000 from speeches. A government of AUSTERITY FOR THE RICH BY THE RICH.

Here are some images of people fighting back in the past and this year.
