Writing from a recent Kneecap/Fontaines D.C. concert in Manchester, a comrade of the RCP details the electric, radical atmosphere, which felt more like a Palestine rally. They even managed to sell several copies of The Communist before Kneecap took to the stage!

The Palestine movement is yearning for solutions. The mood in Britain is charged with anger – against the genocide, austerity, and general insecurity about the future. The unions could provide a lightning rod for this energy, but for this a bold programme is required.

On Tuesday, Keir Starmer dangled the prospect of recognising Palestinian statehood out as a diplomatic bargaining chip. Starmer’s crocodile tears have fooled nobody. It is actions, not words, that matter in politics.
