The Scottish Trade Unionist and Socialist Coalition (Scottish TUSC) candidate for Dumbarton speaks in the Daily Record.
I am standing as a socialist candidate for Dumbarton ward, because I passionately fight for an anti-cuts working class alternative to pro capitalist SNP, Labour and Tory councillors who implement austerity.
Today, we are in the fight of our lives, against the cost of living crisis.
The Scottish Trade Unionist and Socialist coalition demands the council uses its financial powers to set a no cuts budget, no more council tax and rent rises.
A mass campaign uniting with the trade unions needs to be launched to demand the funding we need from Holyrood and Westminster.
I am the only candidate calling for the nationalisation of the energy companies under the control of workers and communities to cut fuel bills and combat climate change.
I am a campaigner against gender based violence.
I have organised Reclaim the Night demos in Alexandria and most recently in Dumbarton following the murder of Sarah Everard.
Scottish TUSC believes that working class people should have a say in what happens in our communities, we need high quality council housing, health and social care, education and infrastructure such as a low cost bus network under public ownership.
I will stand shoulder to shoulder with workers and trade unions fighting for wage increases, jobs and against cuts.
