The Tories’ recent announcement of a windfall tax on the profits of the big energy producers will provide only a small respite for those struggling with rocketing bills. Only nationalisation and workers’ control can solve the energy crisis.

Despite all the damning evidence of his crimes and misdemeanours, Boris Johnson is refusing to go. Neither the Gray report nor Tory backbenchers will force him to step down. Instead, workers and youth must mobilise to kick out the whole lot.

Revelations about a government cover-up of domestic abuse by an MI5 agent have once again shone a light on the violence and sexism that thrives inside the institutions of the capitalist state. The whole system is rotten to the core.

As inflation soars, wages stagnate, and bills rise, millions are struggling to make ends meet. Callous Tory MPs blame workers themselves for going hungry. But the real culprit is capitalism. To end food poverty, we need socialist planning.

Instead of addressing the cost-of-living crisis facing the working class, this year’s Queen’s Speech, outlining the government’s legislative agenda, was packed with red meat for Tory backbenchers. We must fight their culture war with class war.

Whilst two of the world’s biggest clubs face off in this weekend’s FA Cup Final, smaller teams are in financial crisis. Corruption, inequality, and racism: These are the ugly sides of the ‘beautiful game’. We must kick capitalism out of football.

The Tory government recently announced plans to bring back Right to Buy – this time for residents of housing association properties. Such a move will do nothing to solve the housing crisis. Instead, we need nationalisation and socialist planning.

The whole of Westminster is drenched in sleaze and scandal. The entire establishment is being brought into disrepute. As the class divide grows, bourgeois ‘democracy’ itself is coming under question. We say: throw out this capitalist cesspit!
