Manchester Council moves to criminalise homelessness
Draconian measures to punish rough sleepers will only sweep the problem of homelessness under the carpet. Labour councils should instead be fighting for a socialist programme of mass social housing construction.
Crossrail scandal: The unplanned economy
The massive delays on London’s Crossrail project are yet another example of the failures of outsourcing and the inefficiency of private enterprise. This once again proves why we must nationalise the big construction companies.
Britain’s mother of all crises
Brexit has created constitutional chaos. May and the Tories are now a government in name only. The ruling class has completely lost control. Only the election of a socialist Labour government can end the parliamentary paralysis.

Knife crime: a symptom of social decay
May’s government is under pressure to increase spending on police in response to Britain’s knife crime epidemic. But more police on the streets won’t help. Instead, we need socialist change to provide young people with a future.
Where are all the workers?
According to official statistics, employment levels in the UK are at record highs. But this conceals the grim reality of working life in modern-day Tory Britain, with many of those classed as ‘working’ in fact just scraping by.
