With one million young people not in employment, education, or training, journalists and bourgeois strategists are raising the alarm about Britain’s “lost generation”. But young people aren’t despondent and apathetic. We know what we need to save our futures: revolution!
Communist candidates in Cardiff and Sheffield won hundreds of votes in recent student union elections, by pointing the blame at the university bosses, the billionaires, and their system. Plus: reports from campus rallies on Iran, debates with Tories, and more.
Young people are facing a youth ‘jobpocalypse’. 700,000 are unemployed whilst fewer than 10,000 graduate jobs exist. We must end this anarchic system that throws the youth onto the scrapheap of history for simply being born at the wrong time.
Jamie Bradshaw was arrested for a pro-Palestine speech on campus. In response, UCL Communists called a rally demanding his reinstatement this Monday. We are happy to announce since, Jamie has been unsuspended. Now he must be fully reinstated!
Reform is raising a hue and cry over their supposed ‘right’ to speak at universities. But if students decide they don’t want pro-austerity, pro-genocide politicians on their campus, they have the right to mobilise in protest. That is the free speech we’re interested in.
In yet another egregious attack on the Palestine movement and free speech, Met Police officers have arrested a leading RCP student activist at a pro-Palestine demonstration at UCL. Join our protest at 7pm at Charing Cross Police Station.
George Finch – Reform’s 19-year-old Warwickshire Council leader – provoked protest after attending a talk at Warwick University. While students grilled him on the inside, activists outside picketed the venue. RCP comrades intervened on the ground.
Universities stand at a crossroads. Course closures and job cuts are the order of the day. This is the endpoint of the process of marketisation, compounded by the crisis of capitalism. For free, high-quality higher education, we say: kick out capitalism!
2025 saw some incredible achievements for the RCP – particularly on campus, where we doubled our forces to 300 student members. With strikes and ferment ahead, and student union elections on the horizon, there’s plenty for communists to get stuck into!
The Revolutionary Communist Party is going from strength to strength in Cardiff. And best of all, this success is being driven by our student members, who led the recruitment drive in the recent freshers period. We spoke with these comrades about their experiences.
With Chancellor Rachel Reeves sharpening her knives for the coming Autumn Budget, many will be left thinking “what is there left to cut?”. Everywhere you look – from classroom to NHS waiting rooms – Britain being ripped apart by the billionaire class.
Management at King’s College London have threatened a pro-Palestine student with deportation. Uni of Leeds management called police to arrest pro-Palestine students last week. This repression must be resisted. An injury to one student is an injury to all!
