Private nurseries should be heavily regulated and taxed to make it unfeasible for people to profit from child care. Child care should then be brought under state control and made completely free.

This approach would have numerous benefits. First, it would relieve the financial burden on parents, allowing them to pursue secure employment without the high costs of private child care. This could lead to greater economic stability and increased workforce participation, especially among women.

Moreover, providing free, high-quality child care ensures that children receive the best possible start in life. Early childhood education is crucial for cognitive and social development. It helps children develop essential skills, such as language, problem-solving, and social interaction, which are foundational for their future education and overall well-being.

With state-controlled child care, the focus would be on the needs of the children rather than on profit. This means more resources could be directed towards creating enriching, supportive, and safe learning environments.
Trained and fairly compensated caregivers could provide consistent, high-quality care, ensuring that every child’s developmental needs are met.

We understand the limitations of elections, but stopping a majority government should be paramount. Weakening a bourgeois government is a must.

Just as hundreds of thousands and even millions of British workers are waking up to the total complicity of the Labour party in imperialist war crimes, the cretinous CPB has called for that party’s election victory.

This is not a time to support Labour but a time to intensify our efforts for its destruction!

Having entered the Lancashire cotton mills at the age of eight, Sam Fielden commented: ‘I think that if the devil had a particular enemy whom he wished to unmercifully torture, the best thing for him to do would be to put his soul into the body of a Lancashire factory child and keep him as a child in a factory the rest of his days.’

This willingness to sap the lifeblood of its workers, no matter their age or sex, in the pursuit of profit is what has characterised capital from its earliest inception until today.

Media
On this day, 11 June 1919, racist rioting broke out in Cardiff, Wales, when white, mostly ex-servicemen attacked local residents of Afro-Caribbean, Somali, Malay, and Yemeni descent.Experiencing considerable hardship after the end of World War I, many ex-servicemen were in dire financial straits, and had been encouraged by racist media, as well as some unions, to see workers of colour as having taken some of "their" jobs and housing. Tensions erupted on June 11 after a confrontation between a group of Black and white men in the Butetown area of area of the city escalated. Mobs of whites then attacked houses where Black and Arab workers lived, smashing windows, wrecking interiors and throwing furniture into the street. People of colour then began to defend themselves, boarding themselves inside their homes and arming themselves with stones and rocks.One man, a ship's fireman called Mohammed Abdullah was attacked and soon died in hospital with a fractured skull. By the time the disturbances ended three days later, three other men were dead, although it is unclear if one of those deaths was related to the riots as such.The riots in Cardiff were just one of several such incidents around Britain in 1919. Other racist mob attacks on African, Chinese, South Asian, Afro-Caribbean and Arab workers – usually seamen – also broke out in cities like London, Glasgow, Newport, Liverpool, Salford, South Shields, Barry and Hull. Shamefully, in some cases the violence was egged on by union leaders like Manny Shinwell, later a Labour MP, who demanded "action" against Black sailors on the morning of an attack on sailors from Sierra Leone in Glasgow earlier that year.

Nationalisation within a capitalist framework does not automatically result in better pay and working conditions for workers. The British parliamentary system was originally designed to grant capitalists influence over governance, effectively replacing monarchs with politicians. This fundamental dynamic remains unchanged. Consequently, handing control of industries to the capitalist state is unlikely to yield greater benefits than leaving them to the free market.

For workers to truly benefit from nationalisation, they must control the means of production, and the parasitic ruling class must be permanently eliminated.
