Steve Williams, TUSC candidate for Doncaster’s mayoral election on 4 May, has participated in 25 campaign stalls and canvasses, two RMT guards strike pickets, a Women’s Lives Matters protest and a Jeremy Corbyn rally, as well as holding down a full-time job as a mental health nurse.

Steve’s campaign demands include refusing to carry out Tory government cuts to council spending, implementing a £10 an hour minimum wage, and initiating a mass council house building programme, as part of his ‘people’s budget’.

What a contrast to the robotic rhetoric of his rivals.

Incumbent Labour mayor: “I’ve got the expertise, I’m an accountant. I’m growing the economy. Working with business, the private sector, the third sector and the council. Team Doncaster.” And repeat.

Tory candidate: “As I mentioned earlier, I’ve got the skills, the business experience, the background in engineering and investment…” And repeat.
