Socialist Alliance activists are delivering 6,000 leaflets encouraging people to attend a protest during the Labour Party conference in Brighton on September 30.

The protest has been called by the Socialist Alliance, the Green Party and Globalise Resistance.

Ten thousand protesters are expected to attend a march and festival at The Level in Brighton.

Becky Shtasel, Socialist Alliance secretary in Brighton and Hove City Council's Brunswick ward, said: "There is a lot of enthusiasm for this.

"Many traditional Labour supporters feel betrayed by New Labour's Tory-style policies on issues such as privatisation and the witch-hunting of asylum seekers."
