To the people of Putney,
The last five years saw the biggest transfer of wealth, from the poor to the rich, in history. Hundreds of millions around the world were driven into poverty and hunger, exacerbating conflicts and accelerating waves of global migration. In Britain, the price of energy, food, rent, mortgage repayments and other basics of life rose dramatically, forcing millions into penury.
I joined the Labour Party in 1980 and supported Jeremy Corbyn from 2015 onwards. As Labour became the biggest party in Europe, Corbyn’s leadership was sabotaged. The Israel lobby smeared him with false allegations of anti-Semitism, lies that were promoted by Keir Starmer. Starmer backs Israel’s genocide and said that Israel has the right to cut off power and water to Gaza, which is a war crime. British warplanes conduct reconnaissance missions for Israel and our weapons have rained down on women and children. I stand with the people of Palestine in their liberation struggle against Israeli occupation and apartheid.
The Labour Party no longer represents the working class. Tory MPs are welcomed with open arms while long standing party members are smeared, slandered, silenced or expelled. We in the Workers’ Party are building a mass socialist party to replace the Labour Party.
Under Covid, as Dominic Cummings explained to a House of Commons investigative committee, an international pandemic “network of Bill Gates-type people” pressured national governments to act as if we were at war, imposing dictatorial powers, repressing free speech and free movement, and curtailing our democratic right to protest. While Downing Street held parties, people were brutally arrested for petty breaches of lockdown regulations. Big Tech and Big Pharma assumed command over decision-making and accumulated trillions, while our children were deprived of education, patients were denied essential treatment and the elderly died alone, parting from their families on Zoom. In fact the measures taken - social distancing, masks, lockdowns, the closure of work, leisure and entertainment etc. - were based on flimsy scientific evidence. Science that was manipulated to serve malign interests.
We now know that Covid vaccines were neither “safe” nor “effective”. A British Medical Journal report from 4 June 2024 identifies more than three million excess deaths in the Western World since 2020, much of this excess cannot be attributed to Covid. This supports what Dr John Campbell, Andrew Bridgen MP and other critics of the vaccine rollout have said. In the new parliament, the unfolding Covid vaccine scandal will make the recent Post Office and infected blood scandals pale into insignificance. As your MP, I will work to secure the maximum compensation for victims and campaign to uncover the whole truth about what happened under Covid, bringing those responsible to account and legislating to ensure this nightmare never happens again.
Just as the “War on the Virus” ended, yellow and blue flags were hoisted over government buildings, and Vladimir Putin was cast as our main enemy. The living standards of the British people were slashed to pay for this futile, barbaric and entirely avoidable war. More than two years on, Ukrainian and Russian soldiers continue to slaughter each other in trench warfare, with Britain and others supplying weapons. Unbelievably, Joe Biden, Keir Starmer and Rishi Sunak now want to escalate and extend the war with direct attacks on Russian territory.
British society needs a truly dramatic transformation, where science, technology, the economy and government are made to serve the needs and demands of the people.

In discussion with Workers’ Party leader, George Galloway, on his TV show |
We demand an immediate and permanent ceasefire in Gaza: end arms sales and support for Israel. Stop sending weapons to fan the flames of war in Ukraine: call a referendum on Britain’s membership of NATO. We stand up for oppressed people and nations everywhere: and fight for economic and social justice and development.
Oppose Culture Wars - Unite the Working Class
Say no to divisive culture wars that engineer public debate for sinister interests and ideologies. We support free speech, free debate and mutual respect for those who disagree. We stand for the unity of the working classes of all nationalities, ethnicities, religions, and faiths, regardless of sex or sexual orientation. We stand for freedom to dissent and to enjoy your private life and lifestyle choices.
End the Pollution of our Rivers, Seas, Air & Land
We will take stern action against companies polluting our environment, with sewage, chemicals etc. However, we oppose ULEZ and other schemes that penalise the working class and small businesses in the name of the environment. We call for a rational, open and democratic debate on climate change mitigation measures in advance of a referendum on Net Zero policies.
Health, Wellbeing and Collective Life
Stop the plunder of the National Health Service by private profiteers exploiting public-private partnerships. Re-nationalise the NHS and bring Big Pharma under public control or public ownership. Encourage sport, exercise, quality nutrition, and the blossoming of collective social life, as an antidote to dependence on pharmaceuticals, drug and alcohol addiction, and to counter the mental health crisis.
Redistribute Wealth to Working people
Raise the people's living standards. Abolish income tax for those earning less than £21,200. Impose rent controls, invest in a massive programme of council and social housing to end the housing shortage. Revive cradle to the grave welfare state provision that supports families and childbirth, with creches, public laundries etc. Provide good quality and free school meals for all. Abolish tuition fees and incentivise lifelong learning. Guarantee the right to retire at 60 and create a world class social and family care system for the elderly.
Banking, Investment & Public Ownership
Make finance and the Bank of England serve working class priorities. For a massive programme of investment in public infrastructure: roads, railways, schools, hospitals and housing etc. Where needed, take strategic and monopoly industries into public ownership, starting with energy, water and the railways.
Digital Life, Keep Cash, & Put Humans First
Social and economic life must be open to everyone, regardless of whether they have access to the internet, mobile phones or bank cards. Keep cash, bring back cashiers, stop the slide towards universal dependence on digitisation and automation, and the constant encroachment of the surveillance state. Put humans back at the centre of life not AI and machines.
Decentralise Power & Democratise Work and Management
Empower the people, decentralise power to local government and foster broad popular participation in decision making. Demystify power, encourage workers to learn management and administration, by bringing workers onto the supervisory boards of companies. In this way we can free corporate management from the diktats of profit-seeking shareholders, so that companies work for the common good.
