Events and Social Media Update

As the summer draws to a close there are many events against austerity being organised in September. Some of these, like the public meeting on the 18th (see below) are building for the demo at the end of the month outside Tory Conference in Manchester against the destruction of the NHS. Book your seat on the coach from Brighton using this linkhttp://brightonnhscoach.eventbrite.co.uk
