If you are opposed to government cuts and attacks on the ordinary people in society, we’re with you!

Cornwall Anti Cuts Alliance is a non-party political group that campaigns against the cuts, privatisation and job losses that we face in Cornwall, whether they come from the Westminster government or Cornwall Council.

Cornwall Anti Cuts Alliance has members from diverse political and personal backgrounds. Our members include trade unionists, students, the unemployed, disabled people, pensioners, campaigners and individuals that have simply had enough of the cuts. There is no requirement to be associated with any particular group or party, just a belief that we can improve things by standing together for the better of all.

We believe the cuts are unfair, unnecessary and there is an alternative. The PCS union has already produced a widely respected document outlining the case against austerity cuts as being ideology based rather than necessary.

For more about our group see the About Us page.

During the appointment, he was told he was having a cardiac arrest, forcing the nurse to stop the test.

He was sanctioned as a result.

Tory £12bn ‘welfare cuts’?

The General Election campaign and the now post GE period has seen a kerfuffle of the £12 billion of stated cuts in welfare – that  crass Americanism now invariably used for social security – and we need to look at what has been actually said and not at what 99.99% assume has been said.

The £12bn cuts have ALWAYS been said to be made to welfare and not welfare benefit – an extremely key point.

The Student Assembly Against Austerity

We exist to bring together all students that wish to campaign for free education, against tuition fees, a lifetime of debt, cuts to education and the broad austerity offensive which represents the biggest assault on ordinary people for generations.

Student Movement Gets Ready to Resist Rising Debt

In the last five years, students have been attacked at every corner. In the next five, we must expect not 'more of the same' but much, much worse.

Now that the Conservatives have a majority Government, Cameron has pledged to deliver their manifesto in full . But what was in it, and what does it mean for students?
