Labour’s Blairite health secretary Wes Streeting is cynically using the cover of “slashing bureaucracy” to sack thousands of NHS admin staff. We can’t leave it to Westminster penpushers like Streeting to fix the health service. We need workers’ control!
On the eve of the Autumn Budget, the bond markets – the investors who bankroll the British state – are getting jittery. The capitalists are losing faith in Labour’s ability to carry out the necessary cuts to ‘balance the books’. But what alternatives do they have?
This weekend, Your Party’s founding conference will take place. Unfortunately, the potential to forge a radical, working-class mass movement has been driven into a ditch by the reformist leaders and their petty squabbling, at least for now. What’s the communist stance?

This week, the warmongers in Starmer’s Westminster cabinet have been hysterically accusing the SNP-led government in Scotland of being a “threat to national security”. But are the SNP’s anti-imperialist credentials really what they are made out to be?
At ‘Surviving Spycops’, a recent exhibition organised by women activists who were deceived into long-term relationships by undercover police officers, we caught up with communist artist and RCP activist Nicholas Baldion about his latest piece, ‘Police Spies Ruin Lives’.
