We've hit the streets this weekend, and already have had fantastic support for a socialist MP on a worker’s wage in Erdington.
Would you be interested in coming to help us leaflet and canvas? People will travel from far and near to the campaign, possibly from your area.

Here's the outline of planned activity for the next few weeks - let us know what and when you can do to help us plan for maximum impact!

There's a by-election coming up in Erdington in Birmingham - and today @tuscoalition announced that former socialist MP Dave Nellist will be standing to put forward an anti-austerity, pro-worker alternative.
[1/🧵]
Dave, who was the Labour MP for Coventry South East for 9 years and for 14 years a Coventry city councillor for the Socialist Party, was well-known for only taking an ordinary worker’s wage, giving away over half of an MP’s bloated salary – currently £82,000 a year.

Like he's done for many decades inside and outside parliament, Dave will be standing to give a voice to the struggles of working class people in Erdington fighting attacks on public services, for decent jobs and for urgent action on the cost of living crisis.
