One key policy in Labour’s manifesto was a promise to establish a National Wealth Fund to stimulate investment in green industries. But far from addressing the climate crisis, this greenwashing proposal provides public subsidies to profiteers.
Yesterday, Labour leader Keir Starmer scandalously suspended seven MPs for voting against his government’s austerity policies. This harsh move underlines the capitalist interests that Britain’s new PM represents. The left must prepare for battle.
Keir Starmer has lost no time in proving his loyalty to western imperialism: reaffirming the ‘special relationship’ with Washington; promising to increase military spending; and bolstering British support for Ukraine. We say: for books, not bombs!
The establishment and its mouthpieces have praised Labour for winning a massive parliamentary majority at the recent elections. But the truth is that Starmer’s government has dynamite built into its foundations. Prepare for explosive events!
The Tories have suffered a devastating defeat, allowing Starmer into Number 10 with a massive majority. But this new Labour government will be one of intense crises. Workers and youth must prepare for battle. Join the RCP!
In an effort to outflank the Tories and whip up xenophobia, Starmer is threatening to continue the government’s deportation policies and anti-migrant attacks. This is only adding to the anger against Labour. We say: the real enemy is in Westminster!
In their campaigning, Starmer’s Labour are promoting themselves as being both “pro-worker” and “pro-business”. And unfortunately, many union leaders buy into this nonsense. Instead, the movement must militantly struggle for clear class demands.
Labour’s election manifesto delivers exactly what most workers have come to expect from the party: nothing. Aping the Tories on every major policy, this is a programme for the bosses and bankers, not the working class. We say: No trust in Starmer!
Keir Starmer has spent the first week of his election campaign blocking leftwingers from standing, on the one hand, whilst wooing big business, on the other. Workers and youth must have no trust in Labour. Help build the forces of communism!
With Labour preparing to enter government, its MPs are pitching their case for a ‘progressive realist’ foreign policy. In reality, this is nothing more than business as usual for British imperialism, as it continues its decline on the world stage.
This Thursday, voters in the capital will go to the polls for the London mayoral election. But none of the candidates for City Hall have any solutions to the problems facing workers and youth. We must fight to build a revolutionary alternative.
Stalwart left-wing MP Diane Abbott has endured a lifetime of racist and sexist abuse. The latest sickening example of this, from a wealthy Conservative donor, has exposed both the hypocrisy of the Tories and the cynicism of Starmer’s Labour.
