These riots must be met with action, not just words. We call on community leaders and those with authority to set up community defence organisations, and call demonstrations to physically oppose the right. Down with all the racists, warmongers, and billionaires!

Nigel Farage called for “pure, cold rage” last week, in response to the killing of Henry Nowak. With violence in Southampton, Belfast, and Glasgow, he’s got what he asked for. But what lies behind Reform’s reactionary provocations? And where will it lead?

Belfast is gripped by the worst violence the city has seen in over a decade. The blame lies with right-wing demagogues, British imperialism, and the entire system. Workers must mobilise to destroy the right – and tear their racist system down!

We are proud to announce Ehsan Ali, Chairman of the Awami Action Committee Gilgit-Baltistan (AAC-GB), and a leading comrade of the Inqalabi Communist Party (RCP) Pakistan has been freed from jail! Long live international solidarity!

The Epstein scandal has obliterated public trust in Britain’s core institutions: the monarchy, the police, Parliament, and the rest. Millions of people are even more convinced than they were before that the system is rigged, and the state is rotten to the core.

Lenin once explained that even the most ‘democratic’ states are nothing but dictatorships of capital, as long as the bankers and bosses are in control. Looking at the state of modern-day Britain, it’s clear that his words are as true as ever.
