From the outset, it is clear who this Labour government is intending to represent: Britain’s bosses and bankers. Starmer and Reeves are puppets for big business. But their economic agenda will set them on a collision course with the working class.
The French legislative elections saw the left-wing NFP come out on top, and the ambitions of the far-right crushed. However, the political crisis will now enter a new phase. Workers and youth must mobilise to implement and deepen the NFP’s programme.
The RCP was only founded two months ago. Yet already, we have stood a candidate, Fiona Lali, in a general election. Gaining nearly two thousand votes for a real communist candidate is testimony to what our party can achieve.
The Tories have suffered a devastating defeat, allowing Starmer into Number 10 with a massive majority. But this new Labour government will be one of intense crises. Workers and youth must prepare for battle. Join the RCP!
The success of Fiona Lali’s election campaign demonstrates the widespread impact that revolutionary ideas can have, if raised boldly and skillfully. But it also raises questions about communist methods and tactics – an art that Marxists must master.
Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza will be a major issue for millions of voters in tomorrow’s election. The entire British establishment backs the oppression of the Palestinian people. We must mobilise to kick out all the war criminals in Westminster.
With election day fast approaching, Fiona Lali’s campaign in Stratford & Bow has stepped up a gear, with hundreds of activists and volunteers hitting the streets over the weekend. Join us for the final push, and get organised for the struggles ahead.
Western imperialism is facing defeat in Ukraine. But unable to accept this, the warmongers in Washington and Kyiv are resorting to ever-more desperate measures – fuelling further instability for the global economy and world relations.
After months of holding back the struggle to save the Port Talbot steelworks, the Unite leaders have cancelled planned strike action. Workers can have no trust in the Tata bosses or the union leaders. Only militant rank-and-file action can save jobs and the community.
Tomorrow, RCP activists and supporters will be mobilising en masse across Stratford & Bow to campaign for revolutionary communist candidate Fiona Lali. We publish here the bold programme that comrades are fighting for, in this election and beyond.
In their campaigning, Starmer’s Labour are promoting themselves as being both “pro-worker” and “pro-business”. And unfortunately, many union leaders buy into this nonsense. Instead, the movement must militantly struggle for clear class demands.
Whistleblower Julian Assange is finally able to walk free today, having faced over a decade of repression and incarceration by US imperialism and its allies. But the real criminals – the warmongers in Washington and Westminster – are still at large.
