Fascists are sporadically rampaging through our city streets. The left need to help fight back. Socialism is LESS likely- and will be a very dangerous outlook to have – in […]

Farage’s Toff: James Orr- fund raiser for the far right.

James Orr is a far right, Class Warrior for the rich. John Medhurst traces his career.

Rinse and Repeat against Racism by Val Waldron

Labour’s Latest Mistake: Stop Banning Journalists

Democracy is on it’s deathbed. By our Political Correspondent. The impulse to silence dissent is becoming a fixture of our political culture.

Blair is a piece of sh*t…

By Sam Hamad I can’t stand any aspect of Labour, but Tony Blair is such a particular and outstanding cunt.
