Tusc is standing seven candidates next Thursday
The Trade Unionist and Socialist Coalition (Tusc), formed by Bob Crow and others in 2009, will have seven candidates to campaign against cuts.
David Maples, Tusc agent, said: “Local authorities [should be able] to use their powers to check on private landlords – at the moment private landlords are free to do as they like.
“We are looking for a real wage that people can live off – £10 an hour. The council could make a stand by doing that.
“Lastly, we would use the council reserves to reinstate services which have been cut.”
