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.| The Communist
This election will close the chapter on years of Tory rule. But the coming Starmer government will be no less crisis-ridden. British capitalism and its institutions are rotten and decaying. Join the communists to help forge a revolutionary future.| The Communist
