SATURDAY saw campaigners from across the country descend on Glasgow.

This time, it wasn't a campaign event centred around the referendum but about the real politics of changing lives.

Irrespective of their views on the referendum, the people who came together for the Decent Work, Dignified Lives march and rally on Saturday were united in their fight against austerity and tackling inequality.

But change does not come easy, and even if we rally together every Saturday for a year, progress will always be hard fought and hard won.

Next May, you have a huge opportunity to be part of the change. It is our chance to get rid of a Tory Government that has the wrong priorities.

Wrong on taxes, because they would rather give billion pound businesses tax breaks, even though that will shift the burden of taxation onto the shoulders of ordinary working people.

Wrong on welfare, because their harsh and poorly targeted measures hit those hardest who need support the most.

And wrong on workers' rights. Time and again we hear the right wing of the Tory party who want to scrap the protections that keep people safe in the workplace and prevent exploitation by irresponsible employers.

In my last column I wrote about how stark the choice is, and Saturday's rally brought it home to me again that we have so much more to do.

That ambition to build a better society is why Labour will introduce a bankers' bonus tax - like the £3 billion tax introduced by the last Labour government. This will help to protect the services we cherish and build a fair recovery, and is way for the bankers who caused the crisis to play a part in repairing the damage.

A responsible society asks all to play a part. That will include introducing a Mansions Tax on properties worth over £2 million.

And for too long the scandal of tax avoidance has been shuffled to the back of the pack by the Tories. Big corporations should not be able to reap the rewards of being part of our society and relinquish the responsibility that entails. So Labour will pursue this issue and ensure that they pay their way.

There has been a long campaign waged on payday lending to require companies involved to behave responsibly.

So Labour will double tax duty on the companies involved, investing in credit unions to ensure there is an alternative.

And while increasing the minimum wage, we will also at the same time take action to penalise firms that pay below the National Minimum Wage to prevent the good work to increase wages being undermined by unscrupulous employers.

I was on the march with many other campaigners and I am proud that together we are taking the argument for change onwards. Change is coming, but it is change that only a Labour government can deliver.
