Statement to voters

https://wrp.org.uk/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=13206 ‘South Yorkshire was at the centre of the miners strike. The government still hold onto the files for Orgreave when police were unleashed on the miners in 1985. Miners were picketing the coke depot. It was a massive confrontation. The state was against the miners. They did not want a general strike and the TUC did deals. ‘That’s why they cover it up. The crisis is worse today. It’s such a great crisis, nothing can resolve it but revolution. We’re standing for a workers state and socialism. We are standing 100 years since the Russian Revolution which was a huge step forward for the world working class. We have to do it here – zero hours contracts, cuts for the disabled, it’s a crisis. Labour has betrayed the working class because it won’t get socialism. We are standing to build our party – only a revolution can take us forward.’
