Ewan Gibbs will give a short talk about the poll tax and resistance to it, something that brought down Margaret Thatcher

 
Ewan Gibbs lectures in Economic and Social History at University of Glasgow. His research interests include energy politics, decarbonisation, deindustrialization and working-class politics. He has carried out research on the community mobilisation involved in the poll tax non-payment campaign of 1988-1990 and will speak about this research and make comparisons to the current situation of rapidly increasing energy prices. 
Community action & resistance!

Cost of Living & Debt Community Meeting UPDATE

Hear from Graham from Clean Slate
Demystifying debt!
For many, living with debt is an everyday part of life; however, with the cost of living crisis, others will be managing personal debt for the first time. What is this like? What help is available? What are CCJs, debt management plans, debt relief orders, and bankruptcy?

See you there!
