Our rulers have always followed the USA’s drive to war. But now it is Starmer leading calls for escalation of the war in Europe.
War isn’t in the interest of British workers, nor is membership of NATO. How can workers bring this message home to the new government?
Come and discuss. All welcome. Free entry.
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…
Sixty years ago the youth of Britain made it clear that they would not be forcibly enlisted in the armed forces…
Escalating military action in the Middle East threatens a wider war. What can workers in Britain do about it? We need to be united and to assert Britain’s interests, which are not to be involved in foreign wars.
Despite the huge sums of money, the vast quantities of ammunition, and the covert presence of soldiers on the ground, the war in Ukraine is not going well for imperialism. Their answer: double down…

On the 75th anniversary of NATO, Britain should call time on that aggressive military organisation. We need above all to look at what our country needs – and it’s not a war abroad.
Our government spends precious resources in two theatres of war, in Ukraine and the Middle East. The time has come to question its aims.

Workers have made remarkable progress in the past year in asserting the interests of the class. Yet in 2024 we need to do more.

Events in Israel and Gaza have appalled workers everywhere. Workers should demand an end to external interference, opposing both terrorism and reprisals.
