France: success on 18 September – what now?

Rayner ditched: Time for union leaders to get their act together

Unison’s ‘Organised Left’ fraud: ‘Communist’ Party of Britain supports the right wing
Next month, ballots open for the general secretary election in Unison, Britain’s largest trade union. Scandalously, the so-called ‘Communist’ Party of Britain is supporting right-wing incumbent and arch-bureaucrat Christina McAnea against left candidate Andrea Egan.
Trump’s state visit: A circus with no bread

Miles Todd (1958-2025): A stalwart of our organisation
Miles Todd was one of ‘the 250’ – the stalwarts of our organisation, who swam against the stream for thirty years. Miles spoke daily about the Party, particularly the International, and paid his last dues from hospital, surrounded by his favourite Marxist texts. Rest in peace, comrade.
France on the brink
Hundreds of thousands took part in France’s bloquons tout movement last week, dominated by the youth. This was a thunderclap: let the next mobilisation tomorrow, 18 September, be the beginning of a social storm!
The meaning of 13 September: A damning indictment of the left
The monster ‘Unite the Kingdom’ demonstration on Saturday 13 September marks a turning point. This was an embarrassing defeat for the left. The blame lies at the feet of the reformist left leaders, and the so-called ‘Marxist’ Socialist Workers Party.
