The first by-election of the current parliament is coming up, with Reform predicted to win despite a massive Labour majority last year. Unfortunately, Stand Up To Racism’s campaign against Reform leaves Starmer off the hook, and will only bolster Farage’s party.
Britain’s failed invasion of Egypt in 1956 symbolised the end of Britain’s role as a major world power. With British imperialism facing another ‘Suez moment’ in Ukraine, we republish here our analysis of this ‘forgotten war’, written to mark the 60th anniversary in 2016.
Since coming to power, there has been enormous mystery about what Donald Trump’s presidency means. Author and Marxist theoretician Alan Woods cuts through the confusion to clearly explain the phenomena of Trumpism, what his rule means and where he is going.

This May, Marxists from across Britain will convene for the Second Congress of the Revolutionary Communist Party, to discuss the turbulent crisis of British capitalism, and the tasks of class fighters. Here, Adam Booth introduces the ‘British perspectives’ document.
Under the guise of ‘maintaining peace’, imperialist governments are racing to rearm. The jingoistic establishment insists that workers and the poor should shoulder the costs, through savage cuts to social spending. We must fight militarism with socialist revolution!
