Britain: after 1 February – where next for the left?

Sector after sector of workers are joining the growing strike wave. Further coordinated walkouts are in store, following Wednesday’s day of action. To strengthen the movement, these struggles need to be united and organised from top to bottom.

In Defence of Marxism

Support the Workers.

Support the Future.

- biggest civil service strike in history
- #rishisunak pushing minimum service bill to break strikes is a disgrace

Are #strikes across the public sector in the UK fair? Do the workers have a right to be doing this in such an uncertain economic climate? Are they being greedy?
Well, reading the FT this graph feels like one that everyone should see to spike the government’s stance that striking workers are somehow being greedy. #christmas #strikesinuk

#brexit was a bad idea to begin with and continues to be a failure costing us a successful country with services that are run well by a well-paid workforce.

The safety of #nhs patients lies with the government. They are responsible for people’s safety not the #nurses. #rishisunak and #stevebarclay are solely the two people who have created this mess. They refuse to negotiate with the nhs staff. They are liars and incompetent when it comes to take a decision. #gtto #tories #ToriesOutNow #strikes #strikesinuk
