General Election manifesto

No to Gaza genocide and NATO war against Russia! Fight for a socialist alternative to Starmer’s Labour Party! Build a socialist anti-war movement!

The Socialist Equality Party (SEP) is standing candidates in the British general election to build a socialist anti-war movement, based on the working class.

Millions of workers and young people in the UK hate the Conservatives and Labour for their backing and arming of the Israeli state as it commits genocide, killing more than 38,000 Palestinians in Gaza, and they want an alternative.

Vote yes and expand the UK local government workers dispute!

A strike in local government would be a powerful focal point for a broader mobilisation of the working class against the Starmer Labour government’s agenda of continued austerity, due to be unleashed in full on October 30 with the first budget.
