It is the 40th anniversary of the landmark Liverpool City Council budget meeting of 29 March 1984, where socialist councillors and organised workers faced down Tory cuts and privatisation.
The Scottish Socialist Party has reiterated its full opposition to all cuts, and reissued its demand that the Scottish Government refuse to pass on yet more catastrophic cuts to working-class communities in the December budget.
The Scottish Socialist Party has sent a message of solidarity to 130,000 civil service workers and 70,000 University workers set to take strike action on the day of the 2023 Spring Budget, Wednesday 15 March.
