Labour’s war on the poor | Communist Radio #16

The crisis of capitalism is producing one of the angriest generations in its history. This is the backdrop to the launch of Revolutionary Communist Students, the RCP’s national youth banner, and the largest left-wing force on British campuses.

Britain’s biggest car manufacturer, Jaguar Land Rover, is slashing thousands of jobs. This is a graphic illustration of Britain’s industrial decline, and a humiliation for Burnham’s ‘pro-industry’ Labour government. Workers can have no trust in these sellouts!

Last week, Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband announced an import ban on goods produced in illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank. Burnham’s government wants to pose itself on the side of “fairness against injustice”, but this move is performative, tokenistic, and changes nothing.
