⚡️The far right have broken into a hotel housing asylum seekers in Rotherham, England

These hotels are not only used to house "asylum seekers" but vulnerable people who are getting over drug addiction, long stays in hospital, homelessness and/or prison release.

Islamophobia has been systematically stirred up for more than 20 years as part of the imperialist propaganda campaign to justify its aggressive wars in the middle east.

Having made this the ‘acceptable’ face of racism also serves to keep the working class divided and impotent as our rulers wage a relentless attack on workers at home and ramp up their vicious war drive abroad.

Any restrictions on democratic rights are always targetted at the working class. The government will usually not say this, they will hide behind the boogeyman of the minute to justify their clampdown, but it always the case that it is workers who get hit hardest by these things. All trade unions should oppose any attempts by Starmer to restrict freedom of speech or the right to protest.

We stand in solidarity with the Birmingham bin workers who are under attack from the Labour controlled city council. Notice how in the denunciation of the employers behaviour though the Unite official statement fails to mention that it is the labour party (many of whom are members of Unite) which is carrying out this attack in the bin workers.

The 10% price rises that are coming to Britain are simply a case of price gouging. Everyone knows this and can clearly see that the energy companies are utterly parasitic but the entire political system is determined to avoid any discussion of this. They would rather offer endless fake alternatives combined with vague promises that prices will drop in the future. The minimum demand that should be made is that the energy companies should be nationalised without compensation, not a penny, being paid out to the parasitic coupon clippers who have profited from the massive rip off of the working class.

Keir Starmer is over in Berlin today to start the process of undoing Brexit. The Brexit vote in 2016 was a great revolt, largely of the working class, against the wishes of the most powerful sections of the ruling class. That's why the rich hate it and have been working non-stop to undo it ever since.

The TUC Congress in Brighton this week will only prove that what are supposed to be our organisations controlled by our enemies. The "leaders" of the TUC are not there to promote class struggle but to control it on behalf of the ruling class. The left will go and make "demands" of the leaders but the british left are in actual fact partners in crime with the TUC leadership, and both parties are fully aware of this. Rather than addressing demands to the leaders who are dedicated to blocking class struggle anyone remotely serious should popularising the demands to address the basic needs of the working class amongst the class itself. The TUC Congress won't decide anything of value, only the working class moving into action in defiance of these treacherous "leaders" will do that.

The Middle Aged Revolutionary explains why dirge-peddlar-in-chief Billy Bragg is the bard of the trade union bureaucracy.

⏳📚THIS DAY IN HISTORY🇮🇪✊

On September 6th, 1921, the Cork Transport Workers' Union took control of the Harbour Board's offices and the local port, raising a red flag to symbolize Soviet control during the Cork Harbour Strike.

The strike had started due to the Board's refusal to meet workers' wage demands, with laborers seeking a minimum of 70 shillings per week.

The union's bold move to collect dues from shipping agents to support their members quickly forced successful negotiations.

Reaction from the bourgois press was negative, with the Irish Times attributing the unrest to the influence of the Russian Revolution and the country's recent state of lawlessness.
