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.

Contrary to the assertions of western propaganda, the war in Ukraine is not the result of Putin’s mental state, but is the product of belligerent aggression by US imperialism and NATO. They are responsible for the current catastrophe.

The hypocrisy and cynicism of the Western imperialists knows no bounds. It is they who are guilty of war crimes and pernicious propaganda. They do not care about the plight of ordinary Ukrainians, but only in their own profits and power.
