We sat down with Socialist Party member Dave Nellist to discuss the latest Tory sleaze scandal, how he went about only taking a average worker's wage and how as a supporter of the Militant (now the Socialist Party) he used his position as a Labour MP to give a voice for working class people everywhere and fight for socialist change.Dave was a ‘Militant’ Labour MP for Coventry South East 1983-92 before being explleed from the Labout Party in 1991 for refusing to pay the Poll Tax and was a Socialist Party Councillor in Coventry between 1998-2012. Currently Dave is the chair of the Trade Unionist and Socialist Coalition (TUSC), which the Socialist Party is a part of alongside the RMT trade union and others. TUSC is preparing to stand candidates in the council elections in May against councillors - Labour, Tory or others - who continue to carry out austerity attacks on working-class communities.We invite trade unionists and community campaigners, who are prepared to pledge to oppose the council cuts, to stand with us as part of TUSC.We hope this can be a step towards building a new, mass working-class party to fight in our interests, not those of the bosses.Interested in finding out more or Joining the Socialists?Don't hesitate to get in touch.Its easy to get involved!https://www.socialistparty.org.uk/join/Tory sleaze scandal continues, an ex-workers' MP respondshttps://www.socialistparty.org.uk/articles/33346/17-11-2021/tory-sleaze-scandal-continues-an-ex-workers-mp-respondsA political voice for the working classhttps://www.socialistparty.org.uk/articles/16844/05-06-2013/1983-a-political-voice-for-the-working-classTerry Fields MP, Prisoner DV 3695 - The jailing of 'poll tax' rebel and Militanthttps://www.socialistparty.org.uk/articles/32785/07-07-2021/terry-fields-mp-prisoner-dv-3695-the-jailing-of-poll-tax-rebel-and-militantTerry Fields: A socialist voice that rocked Whitehallhttps://www.socialistparty.org.uk/articles/6254/09-07-2008/terry-fields-a-socialist-voice-that-rocked-whitehallJoin the Socialists!www.socialistparty.org.uk
