Welsh Labour leader Vaughan Gething has resigned, following a chaotic and scandal-strewn few months as First Minister. His downfall is a harbinger of the troubles that await Starmer and his careerist clique, as the crisis of capitalism takes its toll.
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!
Last weekend, the newly-elected national leadership of the Revolutionary Communist Party met to take stock of the recent election, including the campaign around Fiona Lali, and to discuss the tasks ahead. We publish here our agreed perspectives.
Those in Britain attempting to show solidarity with Palestine continue to face repression at the hands of the state. Students are being spied on by university authorities, and prominent activists are being arrested. But we will not be silenced!
Labour’s landslide election victory obscures the real picture in society – one of sharp political polarisation and fragmentation. This sets the stage for a period of explosive volatility, instability, and bitter class struggle in the years ahead.
Having suffered a wipeout in the recent election, the Tories are pondering their next steps. The contest to choose a new leader is set to begin. This could see the party lurch even further to the right, accelerating Britain’s political polarisation.
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!
After six weeks of door-knocking, rallies, and marches, the RCP has succeeded in broadcasting a communist programme across Stratford & Bow. With the results in and counted, we sat down with Fiona Lali to discuss the many lessons of this campaign.
Having dominated Scottish politics for the past decade, the SNP suffered a painful defeat in the recent Westminster elections. None of the major parties offers a way forward for workers and youth. Join the RCP and help build the forces of communism.
From the outset, it is clear who this Labour government is intending to represent: Britain’s bosses and bankers. Starmer and Reeves are puppets for big business. But their economic agenda will set them on a collision course with the working class.
The RCP was only founded two months ago. Yet already, we have stood a candidate, Fiona Lali, in a general election. Gaining nearly two thousand votes for a real communist candidate is testimony to what our party can achieve.
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!
