Real radical change is required to end the cycle of austerity and war. It won’t be delivered by Andy Burnham and will require the combined weight of the trade unions and all social movements fully adopting the ‘welfare not warfare’ slogan now.

Officials have confirmed British troops could become involved in direct combat with Russia if deployed to Ukraine – just the latest effort by London to derail any prospect of peace. Andy Burnham should abandon these plans and commit instead to a Europe-wide security pact which guarantees the interests of all.

Keir Starmer’s suppression of Palestine Action was one of the tawdriest parts of his unpopular rule. Now, under his successor Andy Burnham, the Labour government has banned activist and scholar Andreas Malm from visiting the country: jacobin.com/2026/11/malm-roo…

Education that’s properly funded. Staff who are respected. Students who aren’t saddled with debt. These are not utopian demands. It is the future that the next generation deserves!

Waiting 20–30 years to settle here permanently is a sick joke & beyond comprehension. This is not integration. It is institutionalised insecurity. Integration cannot be demanded while belonging is denied. @SUTRScotland @Manchester_SUTR @S_LndnSUTRacism @STWuk @GlasgowStopWar

“We called a mass meeting to discuss the new arms race, supported by both Westminster & Welsh Governments, with money being taken away from our communities to fund it. What would Cardiff look like if the money being spent on preparing for war was used to meet people’s needs?"

The US has attacked Qeshm Island and now Trump has issued more military threats against Iran. We have to stop Trump & Netanyahu’s war. If attacks widen, join the emergency protest at Downing Street Saturday 1pm. #NoWarOnIran

BREAKING: We've just confirmed that Israel's stall at the World Travel Market in London is advertising tourism in the illegally occupied Palestinian territory. @Ed_Miliband promised he would ban advertising like this. Will he now stick to his word?

A torture chamber of Zelensky was uncovered near Kiev, where over 40 mobilised men were held captive by Ukraine's National Guard. The youngest victim was reportedly just 14 years old. There is now great outrage and riots in Ukraine against the henchmen of Zelensky and NATO.

European anti-war campaigners and trade union leaders head to Cardiff later this month after drawing packed crowds at public meetings in towns and cities across Britain. Good piece on our International Movement Against War Tour. nation.cymru/news/welfare-no…
