The British economy is failing to deliver for ordinary people. With the upcoming Spending Review, Labour has the opportunity to chart a different course – but will it do so, asks JON TRICKETT MP

DONALD TRUMP will be inaugurated as US president on January 20 2025. His presidency increases the risk of: nuclear confrontation, war, military escalation in Palestine and the Middle East, China, Latin America, runaway climate breakdown, a low-pay economy, as well as the ramping up of far-right racism, attacks on migrant, refugee, women’s, abortion, LGBT+ rights and undermining the sovereignty of nations.
Trump was elected against the backdrop of a floundering economy that hit the US people hard. Forbes estimated Trump’s net worth at $5.5 billion, but while Trump lives in luxury this billionaire has no solutions for the cost-of-living crisis for the many. Trump’s insistence that the NHS is “on the table” in trade deals threatens to escalate the privatisation of the NHS.
On the day of his inauguration “Together Against Trump” will be uniting against and protesting this far-right, reactionary agenda that threatens people and the planet.
We urge the British government to stand up to Trump’s dangerous agenda. We urge all those who share our concerns regarding Trump’s presidency to join us on January 20, 5pm, on Whitehall opposite Downing Street.
