Unfortunately, TUSC weren't able to field a candidate in the Billing ward. I've found some info showing your current options. It also kind of highlights why the Socialist Party believes that elections will only get us so far in creating a fair and equal society. whocanivotefor.co.uk/elections/NN...

I imagine they're mostly off-camera. When he's signing orders to illegally deport people or to try and curtail the rights of US citizens. Maybe when he's cozying up with Putin and Bibi.

Labour are not the party of the worker anymore. They are more interested in protecting their wealthy donors than standing up for you.

Everyone should be able to afford a warm home, have fair pay, and access to free healthcare and education while protecting our environment. If the current system cannot provide this then we need to change it.

The Socialist Party won't be, but check out the Trade Union and Socialist Coalition. We have comrades from the Socialist Party, trade unions, and other left organisations involved, and are hoping to field candidates in as many areas as possible. www.tusc.org.uk. They actually have principles.
