Tensions are rising in the North of Ireland, with the Stormont Executive paralysed and unionism riven by the contradictions of Brexit. There is no solution to this crisis under capitalism. Only a Socialist United Ireland can offer a way out.

The refugee crisis is growing day-by-day. The victims of imperialism are being trapped on the Belarusian border or drowned in the English Channel. Reactionary politicians in the UK and EU are throwing up barriers. We say: bring down the borders!
The Tory government is on a collision course with the European Union over the question of trade and the North of Ireland. The capitalists on both sides are losing control of the situation. An explosive cocktail is being prepared.
