Yesterday, sixth form teachers organised in the NEU began strike action against Labour’s plans to push academisation, and to make workers pay for the crisis in schools. RCP members joined the picket lines to hear what they had to say.
Yesterday, ‘counter-terrorism’ police raided a Kurdish community centre and arrested several people. This follows Starmer and Lammy’s recent cosying-up to Erdoğan’s bloodstained regime. Down with Labour’s hypocrisy! Solidarity with the Kurds!
As previously reported, security workers at the Natural History Museum are striking for better pay and conditions. Management is now trying to break the strike. We say: outflank the bosses’ offensive! For united, coordinated action of all museum staff!
With the cost of living soaring, a decent social life or a carefree existence have become a pipedream for many young people. As a result, the hospitality sector is being hit hard, and the ‘loneliness epidemic’ is intensifying.
From the construction sector to schools to the NHS, bosses are always cutting corners to make more profits. In the latest issue of The Communist, our readers in these industries expose this short-sighted race to the bottom.
In the upcoming issue of The Communist, readers review Mach-Hommy’s latest album, Enda Walsh’s film adaptation of ‘Small Things Like These’, Netflix’s ‘Arcane’, the 1954 classic ‘Salt of the Earth’, and the 1937 documentary ‘Tsar to Lenin’.
The International Criminal Court has finally issued arrest warrants for war criminals Benjamin Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant. This decision exposes the utter hypocrisy of the western imperialists, as well as the impotence of ‘international law’.
In the last issue of The Communist, we zoomed in on the Manchester district, where the Party has achieved record growth. As the comrades explain, this success was rooted in a serious approach to studying Marxist theory.
Starmer has followed his American masters and allowed Ukraine to fire British-French missiles into Russian territory. This reckless move will have no bearing on the outcome of the war, other than prompting greater retaliation from Russia. We say, down with the warmongers!
Former Labour deputy prime minister John Prescott died yesterday. The ex-union official played a key role in Blair’s government, serving as a left cover for New Labour’s big business agenda. The lesson for the left is clear: beware of false friends.
Ridley Scott’s sequel to his previous sword-and-sandal epic offers more of the same: Colosseum battles, degenerate emperors, and a portrayal of imperial decline. Olive Ruadh compares the film’s fictionalised story to Rome’s historical reality.
Britain’s farmers are taking to the streets in protest against the government’s proposed tax changes, which threaten to be the final straw for squeezed rural communities. We say: make the billionaires and bankers pay for capitalism’s crisis!
