In an act of political theatre, Nigel Farage has resigned as an MP, only to stand again in an attempt to distract from the financial ‘gifts’ he has been receiving. This desperate measure is a gamble to restore Reform’s tarnished anti-establishment veneer.
The menace of far-right violence has become an all-too-frequent scourge in Britain. But nobody on the left is providing clear answers for how to fight this menace. We must urgently build the revolutionary leadership that the anti-racist movement needs.
Communists in Cardiff saw off a targeted attack by a neo-Nazi group at our ‘How to fight the far right’ school. We showed our methods in practice – outnumbered and out-organised, they ran away. This is how we did it.
For the final part of our series tracing Britain’s anti-racist struggle in the post-WW2 era we remember the inspiring Bradford 12, who physically organised to defend themselves and their communities against the far right, and won a landmark ruling which stands today.
Palantir – the infamous US tech company specialising in state surveillance, AI-powered warfare, and predictive policing – is infiltrating the British state and collecting data on the UK population. How did this happen, and how can we smash Palantir?
Alex Gordon, general secretary of the Stalinist ‘Communist’ Party of Britain (CPB), recently wrote a commemorative piece for the tenth anniversary of the Brexit vote – in which he argues that Brexit was a “revolutionary act”. Leading RCI member Jorge Martín responds.

Figures on the left are increasingly pushing the idea that we must support, vote for, and publicly defend the ‘lesser evil’ in politics to stop Reform and the right. In this podcast, Rob Sewell outlines the history of popular frontism, which is littered with mistakes, failures, and betrayals.
Global turmoil, a farming sector on its knees, and a spiralling climate crisis are all pushing Britain’s food system to the brink. The government is already planning for “extreme public responses” to food shortages. To fight hunger, we must fight capitalism.
Since the local elections in May, the Greens have been running into difficulties where they have been elected. Implementing a radical-sounding manifesto is evidently not so easy without a programme to break with capitalism, and mobilise the masses.
Yesterday, the former chief of the Scottish National Party and husband of former First Minister Nicola Sturgeon was sentenced to more than five years in prison for embezzlement. This corruption scandal will be another hammer blow to the SNP’s authority.
In Birmingham, workers and youth outnumbered Britain First five-to-one. But this victory came in spite of the left’s leadership. Meanwhile, anti-racists successfully disrupted Tommy Robinson’s Oxford Union appearance. In both places, the Communists took bold initiatives.
