For anyone in Unite the Union who is enraged that a tiny percentage of the union’s membership determined that YOUR union should remain in its dysfunctional relationship with the Labour Party, if they won’t disaffiliate then disaffiliate yourself by leaving the Political Fund.
As Mick Lynch continues to flush his reputation down the toilet by calling for us all to vote for genocide apologists, a reminder that we wrote this article in October last year on what a crushing disappointment Lynch was, is and always will be.

The black woman he unseated was a blood-soaked imperialist who voted to rain death on innocent people in Iraq. Angela Rayner is a class traitor.
The modern British trade union movement has developed a two-pronged strategy: To service as best as it can the interests of its members, while acting as a pillar of British, and therefore United States, imperialism.
A thread.
Watching the British political class losing their shit over George Galloway’s victory in Rochdale has been very instructive. It shows that they are weak, it shows that they are worried and it shows that we’re not as far away from overthrowing them as we may have thought we were.

A truly great investigatory journalist. One of the few with courage and ability to find the truth and show it to the masses. Never once allowing the establishment stooges silence him like so many other journalists.

British Gas just reported record profits: £969,000,000 in 6 months, nearly 10x what it made last year.
Your sky-high bills are their obscene profits.
It's time to bring energy into public ownership, running it to meet your needs, not their greed.

Here’s the plan:
1. Attack the working class, work hand-in-hand with British capitalism to erode pay, terms and conditions
2. Use their relationship with the trade union bureaucracy to crush working class resistance
If true, this would be absolute disgrace and the final nail in the coffin of the fetid remains of the British trade union movement. It will die, and it will deserve to die.
If this is true

may as well stamp their name and union logo on the bombs being dropped on civilians and tearing off the limbs of kids in Donbass.
Utterly shameful & opposed by trade unionists in the region whose genocide the union is now backing.
@CPBritain
Could you take a moment to explain how a victory for the imperialist, anti-worker party wearing the red rosettes would be a better outcome than a victory for the imperialist, anti-worker party wearing the blue rosettes?
The Corbyn Project was, qualitatively, a failure, but one thing it did do, even if it didn’t mean to, was expose to everyone what the Labour Party was really like.
When I look at the Tory side, I think I can't stand that lot. Then I look at the Labour side and think I can't stand that lot either.
Got to thank Corbyn for that. He made us all see them for what most of them are.
Self serving scumbags. 🤮
"If you believe in the ideas we hold, you've got to believe in them for your whole life."
Mick Lynch urges leftists to stay part of the Labour movement with Keir Starmer at the helm.
When fascism arrives, it will come from the ‘left’, not the right.
As Stalin said, “Social Democracy, objectively speaking, is the moderate wing of fascism.”
The Labour Party wasn’t founded by the working class.
It was founded by the Labour Aristocracy and petty bourgeois anti-Marxist groups to prevent the establishment of socialism in Britain.
"Fascism is the bourgeoisie’s fighting organisation that relies on the active support of Social-Democracy. Social-Democracy is objectively the moderate wing of fascism."
- J.V. Stalin
Corbynism failed miserably because Corbyn and his cabal of petty bourgeois helpers were weak and crushingly naïve.
They also totally misunderstood that Labour is a party of imperialism.
I'm afraid that liberal frauds like Jeremy Gilbert (and Jeremy Corbyn's unwillingness to reject them and their Zionist mates) meant that Corbynism was doomed to fail.
Mick Lynch is a grinding disappointment and anybody who proclaimed that he was some sort of unofficial leader of the opposition was, to be frank, a complete idiot.
I think it’s actually Mick Lynch who needs to “grow up” and realise that millions will never, ever vote for a genocidal Zionist maniac like Keir Starmer.
I don’t want a Labour government that is directly driving a holocaust in Gaza, even more enthusiastically than the Tories.
Our latest article looks at the attacks on Workers Party of Britain activists in Manchester and the sleazy hit job done on George Galloway by the establishment clowns of Novara Media.
The ‘Communist’ Party of Britain doing what they do best - quote a bit of Lenin, maybe a bit of Marx, sprinkle that with a bit of talk about the working class, then end up driving at full speed into the dead-end of voting for Labour.
A Labour victory at the next general election would be a better outcome than a Conservative victory, raising working-class morale and demands.
But this cannot mean voting for those Labour candidates who have played a prominent part in turning the party
It should be borne in mind that Mr Burnham was part of the Labour Government which was in power from 1997-2010 and did NOTHING in thirteen years to turn back rail privatisation.
Let me repeat. NOTHING.
Avanti West Coast will cancel nearly 20 train services every Saturday between London and Manchester until the end of 2023.

Mikhail Sergeyevich Gorbachev did more to betray the cause of socialism and the liberation of the working class in the USSR and the world than anyone else in history. If there is a hell, there’s a very special corner of it where this utter traitor resides in perpetuity.
This year has seen many disappointing incidents within the trade union movement but none more so than the composite motion C21 where unions offered their support to the NATO led Kiev regime and western Imperialism.

We are for the class struggle, not capitalist reforms. This idea of social democracy has been proven to be detrimental to the workers time and time again. The British working class will continue to suffer under the yoke of capitalism unless we fight for revolutionary change.

Absolutely NONE of those utilities were renationalised by Labour between 1997 and 2010, except for Railtrack, which was bust and was killing people.
Labour also part-privatised the NHS and London Underground. They privatised the air traffic controllers.
SAY NOTHING.
The British govt has pledged £500 mill to the defence of the Kiev regime.
They do this while there are reported 309,000 homeless in the UK.
The average cost to build a 3 bed home in the UK is £126k.
12 mill of that spending would build at least 100,000 homes.
@RishiSunak
The perennial call to "Get the Tories out" is resurfacing yet again. However, it's important to recognize that viewing Labour as the sole antidote to our Tory woes is a misconception that has persisted over time.
Scottish nationalism is not progressive in any way.
Claiming to be yearning to break free of the chains of the perfidious English whilst at the some time wanting to be held to the bosom of the EU and NATO is also completely contradictory.
Seriously, Corbynism is long gone.
Rather than trying to re-animate its fetid, fly-blown corpse, we need to examine its failures and understand the reasons for them.
Alliance for Workers' Liberty is a social-imperialist Trotskyite outfit who are firmly in the pocket of the British State.
Anybody describing themselves as a Marxist, socialist or even just as a trade unionist should spurn this organisation as if it were a rabid dog.

The European Union is an imperialist trading bloc.
Anyone claiming to be socialist yet advocates for it and/or rejoining the EU is not a socialist and should keep the word ‘socialist’ out of their damned mouths.
It is beyond belief that anyone who views themselves as socialist would want to rejoin the EU. Its leadership is as bad as anything on offer in the US and UK.

I asked why he’s going for it:
A ‘Green New Deal’ will be our Government taxing working class people to pay private capital for technology which doesn’t work under the guise of ‘protecting the planet’.
The choice is not between protecting the planet and protecting the economy.
Climate chaos threatens every aspect of our society, including the stability of the financial system.
To promote sustainable growth, create jobs and avert catastrophe, we need a Green New Deal.
Labour must be

and the union must push them into that position, we must make them take different choices. We will not make the same mistakes of the past, there will be no blank cheques for Labour until we see tangible results.

Arthur Scargill was every part a class warrior. Unlike Graham, Lynch and Ward who are wouldn't chance their position within the establishment with any action past fist waving.

One can only hope that Mick Lynch’s idiotic and politically dim-witted plea for us to vote Labour is the beginning of a movement to unseat him as RMT General Secretary and consign him to the ash heap of history in perpetuity.
Sir Ed Davey was the minister who refused to meet Postmasters when the Post Office was prosecuting dozens of them for alleged thieving when it was the broken accounting software that was to blame.
He must resign as leader of the LibDems.
The insidious nature of the information war should be apparent by now.
When speaking of the middle east they always bring in women's rights, but no one was worried about women's rights when they were living inside the open air prison of Gaza.
Angela doesn’t seem to understand that there’s a clear connection between her being able to buy her council house and secure homes being out of reach for people. Dumb as a box of rocks.
Being able to buy my council house back in 2007 was a proud moment for me. I worked hard, saved and bought it by the book.
I’m not ashamed - but I am angry that the Tories have since put the dream of a secure home out of reach for so many others. 🏡 🧵
@NEUnion
It was a good thing that you completely capitulated in the teachers’ pay dispute, otherwise recruiting and retaining teachers would continue to be an ongoing problem.
The freedom of movement was just a way of increasing the labour pool in countries of greater want of labour.
This is not a version of freedom, but a way for the capitalists to exploit poorer countries.
