THE Conservatives’ rabid agenda against the poor will be announced today during the Queen’s Speech, set to include much-dreaded attacks on workers’ and human rights. David Cameron’s new government will officially take power as it outlines new restrictions on industrial action and abolishing the Human Rights Act.

Speaking before the state opening of Parliament the Prime Minister said: “We have a mandate from the British people, a clear manifesto and the instruction to deliver. “And we will not waste a single moment in getting on with the task.”

But Mr Cameron’s “clear vision for what our country can be” will not take place without resistance, as thousands of campaigners, politicians and celebrities are set to protest throughout the day against Tory plans. Over 7,000 people were expected to attend the Fight Austerity, Fight the Tories demonstration originally called by the National Campaign Against Fees and Cuts (NCAFC).

In a march planned to resemble some of the protests against tuition fees of 2010, students will be taking central London by storm from 5pm onwards. NCAFC spokeswoman Hannah Sketchley told the Star: “This government received a minority of the popular vote and less than a quarter of the eligible population voted for them. “The idea that it is illegitimate or somehow anti-democratic to protest against them is absurd and dangerous.”

Other veteran campaigners are expected to march down on Westminster to give the Tories a piece of their minds at a People’s Assembly Against Austerity rally. The group’s national secretary Sam Fairbairn echoed the students’ discontent: “We’ve suffered austerity for too long. “It created the longest fall in living standards since records began for the majority, while the 1,000 richest doubled their wealth.”

“With less than 25 per cent of the population’s vote, this government has no mandate to continue austerity and we vow to create a movement so big it stops austerity in its tracks.”

Labour MP Jeremy Corbyn and Green Party leader Natalie Bennett will also be speaking at the rally, alongside PCS union general secretary Mark Serwotka.

A series of videos attacking the Tories for scrapping the Human Rights Act have also been made public, with Sherlock actor Benedict Cumberbatch lending his voice to Liberty’s campaign.

In one of the instalments Mr Cumberbatch says: “Our Human Rights Act belongs to all of us.

“It’s not for politicians to pick and choose when they apply or who deserves protection.

“Repealing it will mean less protection against state abuse or neglect and weaken the rights of every single one of us — and the vulnerable most of all.”
