The Far Right are Heading to Arbroath… So Are We.

By Dave Coull I have only just learned there’s a fascist march through ARBROATH planned for this Saturday, 20th June. They claim there have been multiple rapes by “illegal immigrants” in the town. My quick Google search for “Arbroath protest Saturday 20th June” came up with racist groups in Wales, and in southern England, calling […]

We Are Many by Val Waldron

Meet the new boss, same as the old boss. At the time of writing the polls are barely open, but by the end of the Summer it’s quite likely, according to polls and pundits, that Burnham will be PM. If Successful in Makerfield today, every indication is that he will be putting his shoulder to the […]

No Irish, No Blacks, No Dogs: They’ve ALWAYS wanted us to fight sideways.

By Amy McIntyre We know our history. The Irish were blamed for problems they didn’t cause. They fled “famine”, occupation, persecution & poverty, only to face signs reading: “No Blacks. No Dogs. No Irish.” Don’t repeat that. The ruling class always need a scapegoat. Yesterday it was the Irish, Catholics, Mods, Pakistanis, single mothers, “benefit […]

A Better Activism

By Neil Scott I took this of the brilliant activist Violet Fox 11 years ago- I recorded an interview with Violet for a podcast.

Nu-Thatcherism to the Putinist Model

The political entity currently known as Reform UK presents itself as a radical departure from the established order, yet a closer inspection reveals it to be a rebranding of the most regressive elements of British political history. It is the ideological heir to the hard-right Thatcherism of the 1980s and the exclusionary nationalism of Enoch […]

Sarwar: the Millionaire Charade

Sarwar’s Dodgy Deal By our Political Correspondent. The Scottish Leaders’ Debate on April 14, 2026, was no theatre of ideas. It was a political necropsy performed in real-time under the cold glare of the studio lights. Amidst the usual tawdry point-scoring and the SNP’s increasingly desperate defensive crouch, a single, radioactive allegation from Malcolm Offord […]

The Bad and The Ugly by Val Waldron

    It wasn’t quite the reaction I expected to my comment; So, Thatcher’s deid at last. The polite response that evening of 8th April 2013 could be summed up by a gently dismissive nod and patronising grimace. It told me what I already knew, that the death of this elderly person in the advanced […]

Scottish Independence Parties: Labour’s Pandering to Farage is Paving the Way for the Far Right to Roll in Fascism

By our Political Correspondent The Scottish Yes Parties have issued  blistering warnings that Labour’s increasingly harsh rhetoric on immigration, refugees, and asylum is doing nothing but fuelling a dangerous lurch to the right in Westminster, directly benefiting the far-right agenda of Nigel Farage. The SNP, Scottish Greens and SSP have reiterated that ​instead of tackling […]
