Uber’s New Delivery? Occupation Tech.
Uber has put tens of millions into Flytrex, an Israeli drone company with Federal Aviation Administration: Beyond Visual Line of Sight (FAA BVLOS) clearance. They say it’s about creating quicker Uber Eats this year and beyond. The truth is that Israel’s tech sector runs on dual-use. Drones planned for food delivery are the same systems that can be turned into tools of surveillance and further military attacks
This isn’t “innovation.” It’s capital flowing into the imperialist military infrastructure. Drones don’t just carry food; they normalise aerial policing, mapping, and automation that dumps couriers and surveils neighbourhoods. Israel uses the equipment to spy on and murder Palestinians.
If Uber wants our money, they should publish the deal terms and human-rights safeguards. Pull any deals that help Israel continue it's genocidal campaign and constant war on the middle east.

With the Labour and Tory parties both drained of credibility, the ruling class has been training up a new reserve team, which is now ready to be brought into play.
Farage’s job is to pose as an ‘outsider’ the establishment doesn’t want us to listen to – all while his party and its anti-migrant rhetoric are given massive promotion in establishment media.
The aim is both to keep workers putting their faith in the increasingly distrusted parliamentary system, and to persuade them to direct their anger and frustration at other workers rather than at the capitalist system and those who rule it.

Reform: scapegoating migrants to save capitalism
Nigel Farage is simply one more player in a game of ‘divide and rule’ that the British ruling class has been directing for 200 years.
The Labour government boasts of offering 30 hours “free” childcare, but only to those already in work. Parents on benefits are ignored. That alone tells us what childcare policy is really about. It isn’t about the child, or about equality of opportunity. It’s about rewarding those who can still be fitted into the labour market.
Under capitalism, childcare isn’t treated as a workers right or as an investment in children’s development. It’s treated as a selective privilege, handed out to those who are actively selling their labour. If you can still be profitable to the system, you’re offered a little relief. If you can’t, you’re left to fend for yourself, even though your child’s needs are no different.
Nurseries are just another cog in the British capitalist machine. Either they rake in money through inflated fees, or they function as a way to grease the wheels of employment, ensuring that parents stay usable to the market. The child is an afterthought. The parent is only valued so far as they are able to work within the confines of capitalism.

Affordable and high-quality food is a human right and a social good. Why can’t capitalism fulfil this basic requirement?

Yesterday George Galloway and his wife, Putri Gayatri Pertiwi, were detained at Gatwick Airport on return from Moscow. The stop was under Schedule 3 of the Counter-Terrorism and Border Security Act—a law designed for “hostile activity.”
He was not arrested, nor were there any charges. This was just an interrogation with an attempt to cause distress and worry for Galloway or any high profile Britons from visiting Russia.
Why was he targeted? Because Galloway had been in Russia for a political conference, speaking against western imperialism and against the genocide in Palestine. His politics at home, parliamentary maneuvers, local populism, pose no existential threat to the British state. But his anti-imperialist line abroad is unacceptable to the ruling class.
What the state fears is normalisation of anti-Western imperialism - of voices that argue Britain’s wars, sanctions, and alliances serve capital, not people. That’s why other alternative media figures like Kit Klarenberg and Richard Medhurst have faced the same treatment: stops, interrogations and smear campaigns.
This is the new frontier of repression. Not imprisoning dissidents outright, but harassing them at borders, seizing devices and attempting to cast a shadow over their legitimacy. A reminder to anyone who strays from the approved line on NATO, Israel, or Russia, and you’ll meet the security state head-on.

The Soviet Union Tried to Stop WW2
Western history tells the story of the Second World War that Great Britain standing as a bulwark against fascism. The truth is darker: throughout the 1930s, the Soviet Union worked to build an anti-fascist alliance with Britain and France to stand against the foreseen war, but Britain consistently ignored these attempts
Why? Because for the ruling class in London and Paris, socialism was the greater enemy. They feared the example of a workers’ state on British workers where Hitler’s regime offered no threat, at the time, to the ruling class. A restored Tsarist Russia would have meant access to old markets and profits. A strong Soviet Union meant the end of imperialist looting in the East. So, they stalled and sabotaged any alliance with Soviets, opting for appeasement with Germany.
1934: The USSR joins the League of Nations, calling for “collective security” against aggressors.
1935: Mutual assistance pacts signed with France and Czechoslovakia. Britain refuses to commit, leaving the framework hollow.
1938: The Munich “Agreement” — Chamberlain, Daladier, Hitler, Mussolini. Czechoslovakia is carved up, the Soviets excluded. The betrayal gives Hitler territory and confidence to strike further.
1939: After months of dead-end talks with Britain and France, who refuse to guarantee real military support, Stalin signs the Molotov–Ribbentrop pact to buy time for the Soviet Union to defend itself unaided by the rest of Europe.
It is blindingly clear that Britain and France preferred gambling on fascism destroying the USSR to standing with it. In doing so, they paved the way to WW2 and the deaths of millions of workers.
Had Soviet proposals been accepted, Hitler could have been checked early. Europe might have been spared the slaughter and the continent might have avoided another war.

It is crystal-clear that if one went by what these people say, U.S. imperialism would have ceased to be the enemy of world peace, and therefore, there would be no need to fight against its policies of aggression and war. This erroneous view, which openly runs counter to the Moscow Declaration and the Moscow Statement, can only make the peace-loving people of the world lose their bearing, damage the fight for world peace and assist U.S. imperialism in carrying out its policies of aggression and war.
The Diferences Between Comrade Togliatti And Us - Renmin Ribao editorial - December 31st 1962
The recent detention of Workers Party leader George Galloway reveals that the British ruling class are trying to remove all democratic rights from the working class. Now is the time for us to fight back against this and honour the sacrifices of our ancestors in the workers movement who gave their lives to force concessions from the British ruling class.

The reformists in Britain have reached the point where they have collapsed into self parody. This "new politics" of theirs will be pro-capitalist, pro-NATO and (overall) pro-imperialism. It will also be anti working class power. It's reheated fabianism with more pronouns and nothing else.

The social-chauvinists are our class enemies, they are bourgeois within the working-class movement. They represent a stratum, or groups, or sections of the working class which objectively have been bribed by the bourgeoisie (by better wages, positions of honour, etc.), and which help their own bourgeoisie to plunder and oppress small and weak peoples and to fight for the division of the capitalist spoils.

Systems of control expanding. The Electoral Commission.
The government is proposing to bring the Electoral Commission, the body that regulates elections and party funding, directly under parliamentary control. That's not to say this is currently a body that disputes government overtures, but at least it currently has a level of autonomy. The move comes through the Elections Act framework that is being pushed by senior Conservatives embedded in state structures, with quiet nods from figures in Starmer’s circle who deceitful refer to this “streamlining oversight” as apparently modernisation.
The Commission currently operates semi-independently, with powers to investigate parliamentary parties, enforce spending limits, and issue sanctions.
Under this new plan idea the commissions priorities would be set by government ministers. Essentially the body that polices elections would be controlled by the very parties it supposed to investigate.
Ramifications:
Investigations into ruling party donations or breaches could be delayed, diluted, or shut down entirely on a whim.
Smaller parties and protest movements would face tighter scrutiny as the establishment tightens its grip.
It shifts Britain closer to a managed democracy. We already concede that parliament, and elections, are not vehicles for change, but hard fought reforms that workers fight for to help their current conditions become even more impossible.
Plausibility:
This isn’t simply speculative. Elements of the Elections Act 2022 already introduced a “strategy and policy statement” mechanism giving ministers power to direct the Commission in their preferred direction. What’s floated now is a full capture — a consolidation that watchdogs and constitutional lawyers are calling a breach of democratic norms.
The Electoral Commission was set up in 2000, in an attempt to keep party funding and election rules out of direct government hands. Weak and corrupted though it has often been, it at least held the space for scrutiny. Pulling it into ministerial control shreds even that minimal independence.
It is a blatant lie that this is about fixing inefficiency — it’s about consolidating class rule. When the referee belongs to one team, the game is already rigged. The ruling class doesn’t need to abolish elections, just neuter the bodies that could expose their corruption. Democracy becomes brand management while capital keeps its hold.

From the golden age of football. Before the premier league and the sky money. Before all seater stadiums and concourses with hot dogs, nachos, all manner of different vendors.
These days the football mattered and it was rooted in the local community. You'd be standing next to your school friends and work colleagues. No tickets sold on the internet for hundreds of pounds, pricing our local supporters.
Good times.

Reading FC: A Club Bled Dry
Reading FC, once a stable Championship side, has been pushed to the brink under owner Dai Yongge. Years of mismanagement, mounting debts, and even late wage payments have left the club in freefall. Players and staff have gone unpaid, the training ground was temporarily closed, and the club faces repeated EFL sanctions. Fans now rally under the banner: Sell Before We Dai.
This isn’t just the bad luck some clubs can succumb too. Yongge bought the club in 2017, loaded it with debt, and failed to meet financial fair play requirements. Instead of investment that supporters of clubs like Reading dream of when a new owner takes over, its supporters have suffered from deductions and transfer bans with administration close by.
Reading’s collapse exposes the wider rot in English football: owners treat clubs as private assets to be stripped, while regulators only step in when it’s too late. The supporters who built the identity of the club are left powerless.
These capitalist investers don't understand, or care, that football clubs are not businesses like any other. They are community institutions. Left in the hands of speculators, they can be destroyed overnight.
