Paper candidates, often fielded by political parties simply to fill a ballot without any genuine intention of winning, underscore the flaws in a system designed to perpetuate British capitalism. For working-class voters who still believe parliament can enact changes for the good of the people, these candidates offer no real representation or hope for change. Workers deserve genuine representation in any system, one that will act on their behalf and challenge the structures upholding inequality, rather than reinforcing them with empty gestures.

Paper candidates are just one of the many issues plaguing the cesspit of British electoral politics—a system tailored to serve the ruling classes rather than the workers.

It's time to demand revolutionary change that authentically empowers the voices of the working class.

BREAKING: The Evergreen State College in Olympia, Washington, becomes the first university in the United States to completely divest from Israel.

The economic stagnation of the EU and its increased irrelevance on the global stage.

This war has simply accelerated underlying trends and it is clear Russia should focus on growth markets.

Josep Borrell basically admits that it's the EU / NATO / US Fighting the War against Russia. "He could stop the War in a couple of weeks" but "He don't want"
Astounding. @irishmaninrussia

From the outset, our skepticism of Sharon Graham was palpable. Despite her middle-of-the-road approach during the campaign, she skillfully masked it with fiery left-wing rhetoric, appealing to the masses with promises of change. However, as time passes, the facade is beginning to crack, unveiling her true nature as yet another power-hungry bureaucrat, more concerned with consolidating her own influence than enacting meaningful change.

I wonder what's on her mind?

It's vital, especially for trade unionists, to grasp that the issue isn't solely the amount of wages; rather, it's the very structure of the wage system that perpetuates worker suppression.

Engaging in continual battles for incremental wage hikes may provide temporary financial relief, but it fails to address the underlying problem.

Genuine emancipation from the shackles of oppression demands a concerted effort to dismantle the entire system and pave the path towards a society rooted in a planned economy, where workers are empowered and resources are allocated for the collective benefit of all.

Protests in Dublin stand in solidarity with Gaza, condemning Israel's genocide and demanding Trinity University to sever ties with Israel.
