John McDonnell has been a strong supporter of Palestinian rights and justice for many years. He was the earliest voice calling for an immediate ceasefire, demanding an end to arms sales and for a full and immediate recognition of Palestine. 🌹🤝 We are proud to support John McDonnell.

Since the collapse of Corbynism round one, there has been a notable vacuum on the British left. Now, like London buses, two left-wing electoral alternatives have arrived at once. What attitude should revolutionaries have towards this new left revival? communist.red/polanski-sulta…

*Statement from the Independent Alliance of MPs* "Your Party’s founding purpose is to stand for the many against the few who hold the wealth and power in our country. Thousands of ordinary people have given their time and money to build a real alternative to endless cuts and endless war. "A dedicated team of volunteers has been working on a shoestring budget to deliver a founding conference at the end of the month. Their efforts are heroic, but without funding Your Party’s capacity has been severely restricted. Hundreds of thousands of pounds were donated to the party by supporters in good faith, but have since remained beyond its reach. This has been extremely frustrating and disheartening. "A small portion of these funds was today transferred to Your Party. This is insufficient. We will continue to pursue the immediate transfer of all the money that was donated by supporters to get a new party off the ground, alongside a resolution to outstanding legal issues. "Building a democratic party from the ground up was never going to be smooth sailing. Some of the difficulties we have faced were inevitable, but others were deliberate acts. "Our focus remains on delivering a historic founding conference, so we can turn outward to offer a popular alternative based on public ownership, wealth taxes and solidarity. There’s no time to lose." Shockat Adam MP Jeremy Corbyn MP Adnan Hussain MP Ayoub Khan MP Iqbal Mohamed MP

As @zarahsultana correctly says "capitalism is the problem, we cannot tinker at the edges" and she's even more correct in quoting comrade Lenin: "without revolutionary theory there can be no revolutionary movement". I'd say, come to Revolution Festival! revolutionfestival.co.uk/

Fuelled by bold politics and anti-establishment audacity, Zack Polanski’s Green Party is surging ahead, with membership breaking 100,000 & double digits in the polls. The Greens are now a force to be reckoned with. What does this mean for British politics? communist.red/whats-behind-t…

@metpoliceuk this person assaulted me and my team members today in Hayes town. He was aggressive, loud, intimidating, and Provoking. Luckily we were protected by the shopkeepers and local people. He pushed Derick because he was wearing Kefiya (Palestinian scarf). I have 2 more days of Campaigning and I’m feeling Unsafe. I’ve spoken to Ria on 101, and She said can’t provide us Protection. I am disappointed how Police dealt with this situation. When would you take it seriously ? When we end up in a hospital ? @WorkersHammer @WorkersPartyGB @georgegalloway @HussainShafiei #rizwana4hayes

Last Friday was incredible. A political general strike against the genocide in Gaza shut down Italy. It is an enormous source of inspiration, with the conditions which arose to such a strike not being unique to Italy. We must draw the necessary lessons. communist.red/italian-genera…

UVW's office has been targeted in a break-in! Overnight, laptops, essential equipment and other valuables worth several thousands of pounds were stolen, disrupting critical support for low-paid, migrant and precarious workers. This won’t stop our fight for justice. ✊🏽

It begins. Pakistanis and Indians clash in London.

A statement:

Nazi Tommy Robinson’s 100,000 strong march is a wake up call for the left 👇The sheer size of the far right march alone is a severe warning—but the breadth was alarming too socialistworker.co.uk/anti-r…

Genuine respect for Zarah: But the Greens support proscribing the IDF as a terrorist organisation and support Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions. The Greens are obviously embracing class politics under Zack Polanski - from a wealth tax to abolishing landlords. Polanski is also pushing for alternatives to NATO. The danger is a lot of people on the left will see this as contrived - as looking for differences for the sake of it to justify Your Party's existence. Also: Your Party doesn't have any policies yet, and many of the independent MPs aligned to it are to the right of the Greens on some issues. Zarah has made her differences with them clear on that - but it leads you to conclude that Zarah is articulating her own personal views, which is entirely reasonable, rather than the platform of a party that doesn't exist yet. Personally, I'd have preferred a class-based leftist party. The danger is Your Party has been so messy that a lot of its potential support has gone to the Greens. Another danger for Your Party here is that Zack Polanski's media appearances are very effectively talking to the public at large, and talk about (minor) differences on NATO will contrast with that. It's also difficult to make this critique of the Greens land well when their membership and polling support is surging on a platform of left-wing economics and opposition to Israel's genocide. If Your Party was doing well, it would land better, but its current weakness undermines that. I totally understand that Zarah was asked a question here, rather than bringing it up herself. But she's outlined these differences before, and I don't think it's going to convince a significant number of people to choose Your Party over the Greens? It will talk to a very small number of very committed left-wing activists, but they're mostly in the bag anyway. A better bet, surely, would be to a) focus on neutralising the concerns people have about Your Party - which includes the divisions and a lack of ideological coherence b) make compelling interventions that pitch left-wing arguments at a mass audience Whatever happens, I hope some sort of pact can be struck between the Greens and whatever Your Party becomes. And she talks here about working with the Greens, which is important. It's notable that Your Party is attracting huge numbers to their meetings. That energy is crucial to what comes next. And obviously Jeremy Corbyn and Zarah Sultana are massively important figures on the left. The left needs them both! And right now there's a huge opportunity to displace Labour with a united left. I'm just not sure this is the best strategy, personally, and I think it risks marginalising the Your Party initiative when it's already been weakened by public divisions and the Green surge. The Your Party founding conference is in a month - let's hope it's in a better place, then!

À bas la monarchie ! La Ligue trotskyste, le Parti marxiste-léniniste du Canada et le Communist Workers Circle ont manifesté contre le roi. D'autres groupes de gauche étaient trop occupés pour se joindre à ce front uni contre ce vestige de l'oppression féodale.
