'Austerity is a False Economy that has Brought the Nation's Roof Crumbling Down'

The collapsing school buildings scandal has exposed how the Government failed to ‘fix the roof while the sun was shining’

The scandal is just the most obvious example of the reckless and self-defeating approach taken by this Government to the public sector.

Since 2010, it has cut infrastructure spending as a share of GDP by a third as a part of Osborne’s supposed plan to “fix the roof” of the nation’s public finances.

Stop the Energy Price Rise

As winter approaches, energy prices are set to skyrocket – and the Tory government is doing nothing to protect the poorest from catastrophic rises in their bills.

Gas and electricity prices in the UK are regulated by a ‘price cap’, which effectively sets the standard tariffs. This price cap is due to rise by a huge 12% on 1 October.

Then prices will rise again as soon as April, and that rise is due to be even higher. The total increase could be as high as 30% within just six months – over £400.

And as small energy companies go bankrupt, many people who had been on cheaper deals will suddenly be automatically switched to the most expensive ones at the big firms, with no other choices available.

With prices continuing to rise, some energy companies are even calling for the cap to be scrapped altogether. That would be a disaster.
