Hello Friends,
Welcome to the Brighton People's Assembly June/July 17 newsletter.
Good news, the General Election result was devastating for Theresa May and the Conservatives. She called it to gain a bigger majority in Parliament, and despite massive media bias in her favour, she failed spectacularly to deliver on that. Now the Conservative Party are in chaos, forced to try to prop up a Government with the deeply conservative and regressive DUP. Even if they can get a Queens Speech through Parliament this arrangement is unsustainable, it won't last for long.
Thanks to the thousands of you who came out on the doorstep to campaign for the Greens and Labour party to secure victories in the three Brighton and Hove constituencies of Kemptown, Pavilion and Hove & Portslade. We are proud pf the people of this city who worked together to oppose austerity. Long may it last.
The election result represents a rejection of Tory policies. They know they have no mandate; already the Government has suggested they may have to ease their austerity plans because of huge opposition. We need to make sure the full force of that opposition is felt. If we continue to mobilise in huge numbers we can deepen the crisis for the Conservatives and force big concessions on the NHS, education, housing and jobs. There is already talk of another General Election in the next few months which would likely see the Tories loose further support and be unable to form a Government. So the work carries on.
