“Save our public services.”
GENERA L ELECTIO N
A PUBLIC NHS – WE WILL: • Fight for a publicly funded NHS free at the point of use and end the creeping privatisation of its services. • Make mental health a much higher priority with resources to match this status.
A FAIR ECONOMY – WE WILL:
dave says ... My priority is to address the effects of climate change, seeking out and listening to the many people working on solutions for the benefit of all.
• End austerity and restore the public sector to create over one million good jobs. This will be paid for with a wealth tax on the top 1%, a Robin Hood tax on the banks and the closure of tax loopholes. • A minimum wage of £10 an hour by 2020.
DECENT HOMES – WE WILL:
In Sutton, I will defend the Green Belt against development. I will work for the recovery of Sutton Town Hall as a community owned trust, and Mere Green as a local hub. I will promote the extension of cycle ways around Sutton, the use of existing railway lines for passenger traffic and ensure Sutton Park remains a park.
• Abolish the unfair Bedroom Tax.
I oppose the commercialisation of the NHS and the TTIP free trade treaty, both of which put profit before people and remove the people-centred nature of the health service. I will work to retain Good Hope Hospital as a non-satellite major hospital.
• Take serious action to ensure global temperatures do not rise further.
