Barnet Momentum with John McDonnell MP

Why Momentum? david Cameron’s tory Government is escalating its war of “austerity” – a brutal assault on public services, workers’ rights, welfare benefits and the living standards of people on low and middle incomes, especially the poorest and most vulnerable. the tories lie to us that government borrowing is unsustainable. We must reject their lies! As a society we must invest in our future growth and well-being – particularly in health, education, housing and the environment. Jeremy Corbyn’s leadership of a renewed and reinvigorated Labour party is now heading a movement that can lead a serious fightback against the tories’ war of austerity. there is An AlternAtive to Austerity – as John Mcdonnell Mp, Shadow Chancellor of the Exchequer, will elaborate at this meeting. MoMentuM exists to seize the oPPortunities oF this neW situAtion. Momentum is for a fairer, more equal, more democratic society as part of a world built on peace, ecological sustainability and human rights – including the rights of migrants and refugees. We want increased public investment in public services and infrastructure, including free and equal access to quality, publicly-provided health care and education for all. A decent home, rights and dignity at work and in retirement should all be universal entitlements. this means that Momentum in barnet wants all council services to be run in-house and open to public scrutiny and control. stop the capita punishment! We are against the cuts, closures and outsourcing which Barnet’s tory council is cruelly inflicting on our services; and we are campaigning for decent levels of investment to restore and regenerate our communities and provide quality local services for all.
