While claiming to stand ‘against racism’, health minister Wes Streeting is engaged in a viciously racist campaign against a doctor who opposes genocide.

Mamdani's win has one positive aspect to it in that Cuomo's racist campaign against him didn't work. It is also positive, to a certain degree that a (self described) socialist could win an election for a globally important position such as mayor of New York. The reality is though that Mamdani will be a more slick, millennial version of Bill De Blasio who will immediately compromise with the bourgeois forces who actually hold power in NYC, alienate his supporters by dumping the more radical seeming economic plans and lean heavily into policies that offend ruling class interests less, meaning woke shit. He'll also endorse all kinds of actions against countries resisting US imperialism as well. Frankly speaking, those "Anti imperialists" who are celebrating him only reveal how little they understand the system they decry.

Imperialism is not 'foreign policy' it is the highest stage of capitalism, as identified by Lenin, meaning that it is all encompassing. The domestic side of late stage imperialism means continual downward pressure on workers wages, societal disintegration and the promotion of parasitism and decadence by the ruling class. New York is absolutely central to the operations of US imperialism and its Mayor must be someone who is a credible salesman for the system. Cuomo was not a credible figure, he is very much a discredited man dogged by accusations of sexual assault and widely seen (correctly) as being utterly corrupt. The fact that Trump ended up backing him was decidedly hilarious to say the least. Mamdani though is a man who has already made his deals with the Democratic Party hierarchy and at least a section of the US ruling class who realise they need the socdems to steer dissent into manageable channels. The fact that his victory has been greeted by deeply reactionary Labour Party figures such as London Mayor Sadiq Khan tells us that this guy is no real threat to anything. Mamdani will dump the more radical elements of his plans and the US left will spend the next few years making excuses for him whilst telling everyone that they too could have a Zohran Mamdani in their city if they just keep voting Democrat and join the DSA.

We must be consistent and clear with workers why we reject the politics of the DSA and why Mamdani (and those like him) always betray those who voted for them. The system in the US and the rest of the imperialist block cannot be reformed and those who argue that it can be are selling a lie to the working class, whether they know it or not.

◾In 1996, Gary exposed how the CIA hired drug traffickers, to sell massive amounts of cocaine in the United States, in order to raise untraceable funds to finance a terrorist organization who were trying to overthrow the Nicaraguan government.

These massive shipments of cocaine ultimately sparked the crack epidemic that decimated inner cities during the 90's. As a result Mainstream media vilified Gary Webb & destroyed his career which also destroyed his marriage. But he refused to back down. In 2004 he was found dead with 2 bullet wounds to his head. His death was ruled a suicide. This man literally lost everything to give us a glimpse of the truth. Don't let his memory or what he stood for fade.

Whenever the right of Imperialism designs policies and optics to appeal to working class voters you should be very sceptical and avoid it like the plague. The material base of their agenda will be pro status quo, they will not challenge the economic system, the relations of production will not be questioned. This is the deception of Reform UK. It is the consequence of liberal formalism, in reality you can choose who to vote for, but not what to vote for. It's all form and excludes substance. The core Imperialist policies are baked in and not amenable to democratic tampering.

From Manchester to Liverpool: The New Gentrifiers

It started in Manchester.
When the City of London and its satellite sectors realised remote work could be done from anywhere, the privileged layers, labour aristocracy and 'white collar' professionals (tech, finance, media) looked north. Manchester became the “second city” for corporate capital: cheaper land, lower wages, and a ready-made cultural scene built off the bones of a once-industrial working class.

Those remote London workers, still on southern salaries, flooded in. Developers followed, selling the “northern lifestyle” through glass towers and build-to-rent schemes. Rents exploded. Local workers were priced out of their own neighbourhoods while being told it was “regeneration.”

The numbers prove it: Manchester now has more build-to-rent homes than any city outside London — over 13,000 units across 34 schemes. Average private rents hit £1,319 a month in 2025, up nearly 5% in a year and far above local wage growth. City-centre population has more than doubled since 2001, driven by high-income professionals, while Salford and Ancoats house prices have tripled over a decade. Meanwhile, the number of affordable homes built lags far behind demand. Liverpool is now showing the same pattern: office take-up up 12.5% in 2024, average rent rising 9.4% year-on-year, and average house prices climbing 11.7%, while thousands sit on social housing waiting lists.

Now, Liverpool is next in line.
Office take-up is surging. Prime spaces snapped up by insurers, tech start-ups, and regional branches of London firms. Property prices climbing faster than wages. The city centre refitted for tourists, students, and the new corporate middle class.

This is the latest stage of Britain’s managed gentrification: the transformation of once-industrial, working-class cities into playgrounds for capital. Corporate money doesn’t “revive” these cities, it colonises them. The industries replacing dock work and factories aren’t building livelihoods; they’re building portfolios.

Liverpool, like Manchester before it, is being sold as a “success story” of post-industrial Britain. But regeneration for who? The same class that gutted these places now returns to profit from their shells. The native working class is still locked out—by rent, by wages, by design. As in London and Manchester, Liverpool’s workers are being pushed to the edges of their own city, priced out of the centre they built. The poorer districts are left to rot, overseen not by councils but by landlords, contractors, and private firms who now run what’s left of public life. What once belonged to the people is now divided up by whoever can turn a profit from the decay.

From empire to empire-builders: the City of London didn’t forget the North—it came back to buy it.

The media has been working hard to cultivate an ‘outsider’ image for Nigel Farage, framing him as an ‘anti-establishment disrupter’ in the hopes that this will entice workers back towards putting their faith in the electoral system and accepting the Farage/Reform (bourgeois) narrative that immigrants and immigration are the cause of all their economic and social ills.

The mental health crisis is constantly talked about but seldom actually addressed. Various media talk constantly about the issue but always avoid addressing the fact that it is decaying capitalism which is the root cause. If workers are promised nothing but a life of permanent scarcity, atomisation and alienation then this will only lead to greater mental health problems. To address these we need a system that provides a basic level of security in terms of the essentials of life including (vitally) job security. We need community and solidarity to be promoted, not rabid and pointless individualism. None of this can be delivered by the rotting corpse of capitalism. We need socialism as the the current system is making us sick.

All of this will be explored in a forthcoming article by our comrade Luke which will be up on our website later today.
