Looking more closely at this resolution of the CPB, it's the most parlous and self-contradictory drivel imaginable. Aimed to please everyone, it will please no one.
For a start, the whole statement is rendered abysmal by the constant genuflections before divisive and anti-worker Scottish and Welsh nationalism, and the CPB's desire to advise on 'better methods' of devolution.
Instead of clearly pointing out that the relentless promotional campaign of gender ideology at vulnerable young people (the vast majority of whom have mental health disorders or one kind or another) is the most heinous child abuse, while the business side of providing these non-proven sterilising 'treatments' (mutiliations) has created a machinery worthy of Dr Mengele, the CPB simply mouths platitudes about 'women's spaces' while trying to 'balance' this shockingly 'outspoken' stance with ridiculous statements about how trans treatment needs to be facilitated!
The only people to benefit from lowering the age of consent for and further facilitating access to treatments from 18 to 16 will be the medico-pharma corporations. The children concerned and their families will face a lifetime of suffering and regret -- and an increasing lack of REAL treatment for the mental health challenges they face. Instead of being helped to find a way to overcome alienation, anxiety and dysphoric feelings, they will be sold the illusion that only 'treatments' of the surgical and hormonal variety will do.
By the time they realise this was a horrific lie, irreparable damage will have been done. The demand of 'more resources' for transition instead of for rebuilding meaningful community structures and facilities and working towards creating a social environment in which mental health disorders are not proliferated in the way they currently are (jobs, maybe? a sense of hope for the future? a sense of purpose and meaning in life? an end to allowing every 11-year old to carry the unrestricted internet in their pocket?) is simply absurd. Morevoer, it essentially accepts the whole rotten premise of the sickening 'gender reallocation' industry.
The rest of this pedantic document is so much legalistic guff to cover this capitulation. The use of the word 'communist' to describe such a traitorous approach is the final insult -- not only to communists, but to the working class in general.

Finland joining the ranks of the supposedly 'defensive' NATO may seem to have come out of the blue, but are we really surprised?
NATO's creation was to strengthen European capitalism against the perceived Soviet threat. The first Secretary General famously saying of its creation was to "keep the Soviet Union out, the Americans in, and the Germans down".
Now, as western conflict with Russia and China resumes and Nazism is regurgitated in the Ukrainian conflict, it's important we understand the history of NATO, the EU and the European countries that support this.

To the leaderships of all the Labour-affiliated trade unions:
THIS is what you misappropriate your own members’ money to pay for.
THIS is what you ALL tacitly support through that misappropriation.
THIS is on you all.

Here's the leader of the Labour Party showing you exactly who he and his party are, yet again. Starmer is the rule here, not the exception, all the leaders of the "party of labour" have been like this and will continue to be greedy, grasping, self interested buffoons who live to serve the capitalist class and get richly rewarded for it. The question is, why are we being asked to foot the bill via our trade union political funds? We are we paying for the running costs of a party that has never backed a strike in over 100 years? We must raise a mass call for disaffiliation in every union which pays into the Labour Party as a matter of urgency.

The leadership of RCN recommended acceptance of that wretched offer. They should resign.
And shame on the leadership of Unison.

#Taiwan 🇹🇼 | The arrival of US troops in Taiwan for training is just another example of the US initiating proxy wars to maintain its sham hegemony. With China in its crosshairs, the US is using a flimsy excuse to flex its military might to push its own agenda.

A nice clear expression of the class war from the Bank of England's chief 'economist':
'Workers should stop trying to resist us when we pass the burden of the economic crisis onto them. Don't these selfish fools understand that our profits are paramount? After all, what's a hungry child more or less in this world ..?'

Understanding Scottish nationalism and it's dead end for socialism is another important lesson for British workers.
