PostHeaderIcon Manchester Respect launches Manifesto

"Respect have set out their conditions for supporting a Labour government in a hung Parliament.

"As they launched their manifesto the party said they would not back a Tory government "under any circumstances".

"But they would support Labour if troops were withdrawn from Afghanistan, more council houses were built, there was electoral reform and an end to cuts.

"The anti-war party is hoping to gain up to three MPs on 6 May, which could leave it holding the balance of power."

PostHeaderIcon Respect candidates back 'I am England' campaign

'Whoever you are, wherever you're from, whatever your faith, or none, we are all England," explained campaign organiser Mark Perryman at the launch of the 'I am England' campaign on St George's Day.  

And backing the message Respect election candidate Martyn Lambert added '"Throughout the World Cup Longsight in Manchester will be full of England flags,  the I am England message is brilliant, England for all. The England team is a powerful symbol of how this country has changed,  not just the players, but increasingly the fans, of all races, faiths and backgrounds, something to welcome and be proud of."  

The 'I am England' message celebrates the  extraordinary diversity of today's support for England. Mark Perryman explained ' I am England is very positive and simple. We can all be England, if we choose to be, no qualifications are required to become a fan, no exclusions demanded to determine who can and cannot be a supporter.'

The campaign by Philosophy Football and backed by Kick it Out, football's equality and inclusion campaign, is launched today with an  'I am England'  You Tube film.



Martyn was joined in Manchester by Respect election candidates, Mohammed Zulfikar, Marie-Angelique Bueler, Alice Searle and Ibrahim Ali to celebrate England's multicultural diversity.

PostHeaderIcon George Galloway: The fight is on

Labour is soft on the bankers. The Tories are the bankers.

So it’s not surprising that each of them is planning massive cuts to public services if they win the next election. The Chancellor, Alistair Darling, promises cuts that will be “deeper and tougher” than those carried out by Margaret Thatcher in the early 1980s.

Those cuts, we should remember, led to city after city in Britain becoming industrial ghost-towns, as millions were thrown on the scrap heap of the dole. Meanwhile from Toxteth to St Pauls, Brixton to Handsworth our inner cities burned as riots erupted out of anger and frustration.

So we have Labour’s manifesto in a nutshell. ‘A future fair for all’ translates as vote for us and we’ll deliver cuts deeper and tougher than the axe woman herself.
