Fishing and the British Nation
31 October 2026
Britain is an island country possessing a wealth of coastal assets. Fishing here has a long history, tied to the development of industry and the working class.

A united Britain – no to devolution!
From the start of his tenure as prime minister, Andy Burnham seems to be doing everything in his power to fragment Britain, just when unity is most needed…
The economic state of Britain
Many comments ahead of the Budget talk about the need to spend on defence and that welfare payments are unaffordable. The country’s finances are unsustainable, but not for the reasons government and economists say.
Fishing and the British nation [print version]
The evolution of Britain’s fishing industry has witnessed many ups and downs. It is tied to the development of industry and the working class…

Andy Burnham will be at the UK/EU summit meeting the day before our meeting. His divisive claims cannot be ignored as he spreads lies and confusion, hoping there will not be enough opposition to block his plans.
What can and should workers do about these threats to our class?
Come along and discuss the latest developments. All welcome. Free entry.
Unity Not Devolution
Unity Not Devolution
Tuesday 15 September 2026 19:00
The new prime minister says he aims to devolve more power to regions. He also wants Britain to rejoin the EU.
Devolution in whatever guise aims to break up Britain, letting multinational corporations operate more freely – as would membership of the EU.
Workers need a united independent Britain coupled with industrial self-reliance if we are to provide for our needs. How do workers turn the government away from its course of breaking up Britain?

Ask who wants this war, and why
The risk of an all-out conflict between NATO and Russia is higher now than at any point in the cold war period.
Britain needs socialism
What would socialism mean for Britain? And what would it take to achieve it?
War in the Middle East: a working class response
A recent CPBML meeting discussed how workers here can respond to foreign wars. One conclusion: removing Britain from the crumbling NATO alliance would be a good start…
For British independence, for peace
We live in dangerous times – often said, but it’s true. The world is getting steadily more dangerous. But there is a way forward: independence…
Elections bring no change
20 May 2026
The elections on 7 May changed little. Workers across Britain trounced the Labour Party. But it remains in power, determined to cling on and to inflict as much damage as possible on the country.
Devolved elections – new faces, same problems
20 May 2026
Workers across Britain rejected the Labour government in the 7 May votes. Those in Scotland and Wales have also to deal with their devolved administrations, which don’t have anything new to offer.
Britain needs no war
British workers cannot leave it to Keir Starmer and his government to decide on what our country does about war across the Middle East. Britain must stop interfering in other sovereign nations and get out of NATO.
EU: what’s in a name?
The Labour government aims to tie Britain to the EU’s severe net zero targets, pushing up energy costs.
No to war! Out of NATO now!
5 March 2026
Britain’s people must decide against the USA’s attack on Iran, born of the desire to control global energy. This is not a war of our making, we should have no part of it.
Defend Britain! Out of NATO!
Rising international tensions and the threat of wide scale war are clear for everyone to see. The question for British workers is whether we accept that the government knows what it is doing and needs our support.
Ditch “better”. Go for change.
Parliamentary elections, we have consistently said, change nothing. And despite all the froth around the local elections in May, they too will change nothing fundamental in Britain.
Britain’s economy: we need a new direction!
It is evident to all workers, and many capitalists, that Britain is experiencing a worsening decline in the economy, unable to provide the jobs, goods and services people need. But that observation on its own will not lead to change…

On May Day we take stock of Britain and the world.
The ruling class and the government use wars overseas to divert from their attack against the British working class, foremost their plan to rejoin the EU. Reject their plan and join us in rebuilding an independent Britain.
The British working class can act as a force for peace by calling for an end to foreign adventures and interference by our government. We must use our resources for our many needs here in Britain. The essential and urgent task for workers is to rebuild and maintain an independent industrial base – including defence.
Come to celebrate May Day and join the discussion.
All welcome. Free Entry.
Workers of all lands, unite!
Fight for independence!
No to war!

US incursion threatens all, even Britain
7 January 2026
US military action against Venezuela should be universally condemned as a violation of sovereignty. This highlights once again the role of Britain in NATO, and the presence of US bases here. They pose a threat to our sovereignty.
Our fight is in Britain, not Palestine
Obsession with the appalling events in Palestine is to the detriment of workers here in Britain.
What does it mean to be British?
In a world where rival imperialisms and globalist corporations seek to cement their power, a strong nation state is a precondition of independence. Yet some seem confused about what being British entails…

An unhealthy obsession
The media in Britain seem obsessed by the politics and political thought of the USA, a trend shared by too many. It’s an unhealthy obsession and a deliberate distraction from our pressing needs.
