Jon Woods, chair of Portsmouth Trade Union Council, said: '˜The prime minister's claim austerity is over is a cynical lie.

'˜Ten years on, the government continues to make the many pay for the banking crash caused by the few. This public meeting will show how trade unions are at the forefront of the struggle against austerity.'

The meeting will be held at University Park Building, King Henry I Street, PO1 2BZ.
