Branch members at the Autumn Statement protest at Brighton’s Clock Tower on 5th December

Unions in Brighton & Hove staged an outdoor rally at the Clock Tower in central Brighton on Wednesday, 5th December – the day the ConDem government made its “Autumn Statement.”

More cuts to public services and welfare benefits were announced, with the local Green-led council braced to see exactly how many more services and jobs they may have to cut as their funding from central government continues to shrink.

Protesters at the Clock Tower wanted to show the ConDems that we won’t stand by and let ordinary people pay for the crisis they didn’t create!
