Last week, war criminal and former prime minister Tony Blair published a 5,700 word essay lambasting Starmer and the Labour Party. This diatribe is a more-or-less clear expression of the (impossible) demands of the capitalist class upon the Labour government.
This month saw the return of the Met Gala – a glorified catwalk where the opulence of the rich and powerful is trotted out. This year’s event was partially overshadowed by labour protests, celebrity snubs, and a grassroots ‘ball without billionaires’.
In this issue’s installment of ‘bastard bosses of the week’, readers of The Communist discuss organising in the charity sector, corner-cutting managers, William Hill redundancies, and more!
In the latest issue of The Communist, readers expose the hefty price tag that comes with funeral-planning, and the nightmarish companies making cosmetic products out of corpses. We also cover NASA’s moon landing, the climate crisis, and more.
In issue 44 of The Communist, readers discuss Royal Mail’s abysmal performance since privatisation; traders making bank gambling on the world’s conflicts, wars, and economic chaos; Starmer dragging his feet on renters’ rights; and more.
‘Sir’ Keir Starmer recently proclaimed “I have the most working-class Cabinet in the history of this country” – a bold claim! In reality, Starmer, Reeves, Phillipson, Rayner, and Lammy have all broken from their class backgrounds to serve the capitalist class.
In Issue 42 of The Communist, readers discuss the “30 year debt sentence” facing university graduates, the hypocrisy of recent comments made by Manchester United owner and billionaire Jim Ratcliffe, how unemployment feeds into the mental health crisis, and more!
The full weight of ‘Broken Britain’ is bearing down on adult and children social services, leaving them crumbling in the face of rising demand and deep austerity. Saving these services requires thoroughgoing socialist measures, writes one social worker.
The supposedly ‘progressive’ left-leaning ‘New Statesman’ recently reported on the RCP’s hugely successful Revolution Festival. Sitting comfortably in their liberal bubble, these sneering journalists can’t make heads or tails of the real, revolutionary mood in society.
The Guardian recently published a trivial stink piece, claiming that revolutionary Friedrich Engels made exaggerated claims about the conditions of Manchester workers. Why do these liberal papers feel the need to criticise a theoretician who died over a century ago?
The latest discoveries from the Mars rover are our most promising signs of extraterrestrial life. But with funding for space agencies slashed, it’s unlikely we’ll retrieve these samples for decades. Other letters include: Sadiq Khan’s hypocrisy, and graduate visa trouble.
BBC Panorama’s undercover footage exposes deep-rooted racism, misogyny, and violence in the Met Police. While scandalous, this footage comes as a surprise to exactly no one – and hardly scratches the surface of this unsalvageable institution’s rot.
