Thousands marched in London, organized by the People's Assembly, protesting austerity measures implemented by Keir Starmer's Labour government. Demonstrators called for taxing the wealthy to sustain public services, reflecting widespread dissatisfaction with cuts that are perceived as unnecessary. Individuals like Kate Hardie voiced their discontent, emphasizing the adverse effects of cuts on vulnerable populations, including those with disabilities. The march aimed to unite various groups against austerity while lamenting a societal trend toward rising hostility and ineffective governance, which Hardie criticized as akin to engaging with a 'tribute band' instead of real change.
I worry about the fact that this government is making cuts that are unnecessary. People are really suffering because of it.
It's not just financial, it's also ideological and about how we treat each other.
