Come to the TUSC conference on Sunday!

Published on

A conference of the Trade Unionist and Socialist Coalition (TUSC) is taking place this Sunday, February 2nd, from 11am to 1-30pm on Zoom. 

The event is open to all and meeting ID details can be got by registering at bit.ly/TUSC25conf.  There is no conference fee but donations to support TUSC’s work are always welcome, and can be made at https://www.tusc.org.uk/donate/

The conference has been convened under the heading, ‘Fighting for a new party under the Starmer government. And what role for TUSC?’, as the need for a working class political alternative to the Tory-lite New Labour government becomes clearer by the day.

The following platform speakers from the constituent components of TUSC will introduce the single plenary session, alongside a representative of Collective, a network involving key supporters of Jeremy Corbyn from his time as Labour leader who are now seeking to build the foundations for a new left political party.

Dave Semple, PCS Vice President (personal capacity)
Hannah Sell Socialist Party general secretary
Suzanne Muna Unite NEC member (personal capacity)
Andrew Jordan The Collective secretariat group
Tom Allen TUSC Individual Members’ section
Tom Porter-Brown Socialist Students

The event will also discuss how to achieve the biggest possible socialist challenge at the first widescale electoral test of the new government, the local elections to be held in May 2025, including what the minimum core policies platform should be that candidates will need to commit to in order to use one of the TUSC names and emblems on the ballot paper.  There will be plenty of time for thoughts, contributions and questions.

The conference agenda document, including a draft platform for the May 2025 elections – our ‘six guarantees’ – is available at https://www.tusc.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Conference-agenda-document.pdf
