This coming Wednesday, 20th October, George Osborne will present his Comprehensive Spending Review, detailing the huge cuts that he plans to make to public spending.
We think he's making a big mistake. The scale and pace of cuts is not necessary, and certainly not fair. The Chancellor says the cuts are inevitable, but we think they're ideological.
By reducing the deficit through 80% cuts and only 20% taxation, the burden will fall on the most vulnerable, rather than those who helped cause the crisis and could afford a fairer share.
And planning to pay off the deficit in four years is much too fast whilst the economy is so fragile. We're risking a double dip recession, hitting jobs and incomes right across the UK.
Some MPs will be unaware of just how much damage the cuts could do to many of their constituents. Some might not have considered alternatives, such as cracking down on tax dodging, or a Robin Hood Tax on the banks.
Let's make sure that every MP watching the Chancellor outline his plans on Wednesday will already know the strength of feeling in their own constituency about them.
Please take a moment to email your MP now, letting them know your thoughts.
