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…
Memoirs of a British communist
A new book takes you from Britain to many other countries, notably Cuba, where the author helped organise the supply of medical aid to the blockaded country…

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.

The ruling class continues to denigrate the referendum votes for the unity of Britain in 2014 and for exit from the EU in 2016. Their distaste for British workers exercising their political power is evident, even in such a small thing as defiantly flying flags.
To be British is simple – you live and work here, nowhere else. But the existence of an independent nation can’t be taken for granted. And it doesn’t matter if it’s the EU or USA trying to dominate our lives: both should be opposed.

1787: The Calton Weavers
In 1787 six striking weavers from the Calton area of Glasgow were killed and many more injured. The annual commemoration of their watershed struggle is building towards the 240th anniversary in 2027.
Keir Starmer is endangering Britain
Keir Starmer and his government do not defend Britain. They do not act in our interests but cynically pretend that they do…
The threat is from within
The sight of parliamentarians in front of the Union Jack should fool no one. Working class nationalism, British independence and security of our borders are anathema to the majority in Parliament. They would prefer to stand in front of the EU flag.
The antidote to disunity – Britain united
Britain truly became united not because of an act of parliament or a monarch’s ambition. It became one with the rise of the working class and working class culture…
1945: More than a loan
Our ruling class has a track record of not protecting Britain’s national interest. One typical episode occurred at the end of the Second World War…
The British state and grooming gangs
The big question raised by the grooming gangs is not that some men, especially in tightly knit communities, might seek to take advantage. It is how on earth such abuse went on for decades.
The real special relationship
Britain has been the preferred hunting ground for US multinationals buying up businesses abroad, leading to a serious loss of independence.
British Workers: Strength in Unity
British Workers: Strength in Unity
Tuesday 8 April 2025 19:00
Unity between workers is our main strength – we have a common class interest and the ability to make progress when we act together.
But everywhere that unity is under threat. At work, by employers who constantly exploit weakness and lack of cohesion. And across Britain, by a government and ruling class who want to break Britain up into regions and tie us to the USA or again to the EU.

Peace, land and bread in Britain 2025
The Bolsheviks called for “Peace, Land and Bread” in 1917 at a time of crisis and transition in Russia. They aimed to unite a country weary of a war for rulers they despised and for aims they did not share.
Not left or right - but for British workers
Communists aim to unite workers, those who live by selling their labour power.
Britain must have investment
There is capital – plenty of it – that could be used for investment here in Britain but instead countless billions of pounds are invested overseas. Meanwhile employment and living standards here suffer…
Budget: reality bites
2 November 2024
Details of the Budget were widely trailed beforehand. But behind the headlines and promises there is much that should concern workers.
Taking Charge - Tasks To Be Done
25 October 2024
Political statement from the Communist Party of Britain Marxist-Leninist, 20th Congress, London, June 2024.
Focus on Britain! No to foreign wars! [print version]
Escalating military action in the Middle East rightly worries British workers. But nothing good comes from involving Britain in these conflicts.
For Britain - assert independence!
The new government rules out rejoining the EU, but acts as if it wants to adopt by stealth all those things British workers rejected in 2016 – above all a return to free movement of labour, open borders.
Only workers in struggle can change Britain
4 July 2024
The way forward for Britain and its people is in working class action. Now is the time to take control.
Prepare for struggle
Whatever result we wake up to, the tasks for our class will still be the same. Workers have nothing to gain from a change of party in government.
Stop the drive to war! Build a new Britain!
On foreign matters, as on domestic matters, there is no free choice. Labour and Conservative both claim to be more pro-NATO, more pro-war, than the other…

Workers are the only force for progress: accept that challenge and prepare to fight for it.

A day to remember power
May Day is a day to remember the power of the working class to transform the world. In 2024 we must assert that power to shape a future for Britain.

Capitalism can’t sustain the health service, education, housing, utilities, policing, and more that a 21st century civilisation needs. How can we ensure our services serve the people?

Britain needs peace, not war
Our government spends precious resources in two theatres of war, in Ukraine and the Middle East. The time has come to question its aims.
