As the murderous Israeli regime rains down hellfire upon Palestinian hospitals and Lebanese neighbourhoods, Labour have nothing to offer but empty words, sickening hypocrisy, and toothless measures. Starmer and Lammy are complicit in these crimes.
At the recent International Investment Summit, Starmer delivered a programme of deregulation and attacks on workers, in order to woo his paymasters. We say: down with this billionaires’ government! Expropriate the rich!
The number of drug-related deaths in Scotland – already the highest in Europe – rose sharply last year. Small tweaks and measures have failed to solve anything. The substance abuse crisis is the product of the poverty capitalism creates.
The death of Alex Salmond, a towering figure of the Scottish independence movement, has been met with glowing tributes from across the political spectrum. Salmond made the SNP what it is today: a party of big business, austerity, and decline.
Earlier this month, Starmer announced that the Chagos Islands, a British colony, will be handed over to the Mauritian government. But far from ‘righting injustice’, this backroom deal with the USA will only strengthen the grip of western imperialism.
This week on Communist Radio, Fiona and Ben discuss Israel’s killing of hundreds in Lebanon; the first one hundred days of Starmer’s anti-worker, imperialist Labour government; and how we can build a revolutionary party like Lenin and the Bolsheviks.
Things aren’t looking good for Scotland’s ruling party. Having suffered a humiliating loss of seats in the general election, the SNP is increasingly being discredited for pursuing an austerity agenda. Workers and youth must mobilise against the cuts.
Starmer’s government has been one of crisis since day one – rocked by riots, rebellions, and scandals. All of this overshadowed this year’s party conference, spoiling the celebrations that the Labour leaders were expecting. But worse is yet to come.
Nurses organised in the RCN have voted to reject the government’s pathetic pay offer, which does nothing to address the years of wage erosion that NHS workers have faced. The stage is set for a new wave of struggle across the public sector.
As delegates arrive in Liverpool this weekend for Labour’s annual conference, they will be met by a display of protest from Palestine solidarity activists. Starmer and his government are complicit in the Gazan genocide. Down with the warmongers!
This month sees a new year of freshers heading to UK campuses. This generation has known nothing but capitalist crisis, austerity, war, and environmental disaster. The system cannot be patched up. It must be overthrown. Join the communists today!
From Port Talbot steelworks, to Grangemouth refinery, to the Harland & Wolff shipyards: across the country, workers are set to be thrown on the scrapheap, as British industry goes to the wall. We need nationalisation, planning, and workers’ control.
