The British Steel bosses have announced the potential closure of the remaining furnaces in Scunthorpe, after over a century of operation. This jobs massacre will throw the entire town onto the scrapheap. Workers must take matters into their own hands: Occupy the steelworks!

With thousands of job losses at the Port Talbot steelworks, and potentially thousands more in Scunthorpe, it’s clear that Britain’s steel industry is in dire straits – with or without Trump’s tariffs. The labour movement needs a militant, socialist programme to save jobs!

Trump is set to announce a barrage of new tariffs, in an attempt to stem the decline of US capitalism. Here, Niklas Albin Svensson outlines the Marxist position on the ‘free trade vs protectionism’ debate, and how tariffs will impact the world economy.

With the world economy stagnant, and Trump gearing up for protectionist trade wars, there are many parallels to the Great Depression of the 1930s. Here, we republish a 2020 article by James Kilby analysing this decade of crisis and class struggle.

This weekend, the British state carried out a coordinated series of raids and arrests against a radical, anti-imperialist youth organisation. We stand in complete solidarity with Youth Demand. For a mass mobilisation against Starmer’s repressive regime!
