David Cameron’s Tories justified austerity by saying we were ‘all in it together’. Now millions are going hungry and public services are on their knees while the rich enjoy the spoils – we can’t afford to let them lie again.
Giorgia Meloni, like many in the Italian far-right, is a Lord of the Rings obsessive – raising questions about what it is in Tolkien’s work that seems to appeal to fascists.
More than 1,000 Palestinians live under permanent threat of eviction in the West Bank community of Masafer Yatta, which Israel has designated a ‘firing zone’ – just one glimpse into life under its apartheid regime.
Today’s presidential run-off in Brazil leaves voters a stark choice: continue the destructive nightmare of Bolsonaro’s presidency – or choose Lula to fight poverty and rebuild.
A decade of Tory cuts has left teachers grappling with crisis after crisis – so today, hundreds of thousands begin balloting on national strike action.
This week, Grace speaks to Aeron Davis, professor of political communication. They discuss the power of the Treasury and how the financialisation of the UK economy has eroded democracy.
This year’s pathetic 2% pay offer for civil servants came hot on the heels of a decade of ‘pay restraint’. It’s not a one-off from the government, it’s a pattern – and industrial action is the only way to change it.
Teachers and support staff are leaving education in droves. There’s one way for the government to stem the flow: reverse twelve years of cuts, abandon austerity 2.0, and pay education workers properly.
In Britain, there’s no formal protection for staff whose employers make life difficult for them because they’ve been on strike – another way our laws put bosses’ interests above workers’ needs.
Last month, the RSPCA made a ‘snap decision’ to sell its only London animal hospital to another charity. Only the threat of strikes stopped the transfer – proof that where charity falls short, organising wins.
Mike Davis, the American geographer and historian, has died. There was no better socialist writer in the last four decades.
Spain’s 2021 ‘Rider Law’ was a breakthrough in employment rights for delivery riders, but giants like Glovo have been all too willing to flout it – so they’ve been slapped with a record €79 million fine.
Picasso was born on this day in 1881. He became a socialist – and went on to prove the power of art as a tool in the fight against oppression and brutality.
For those in power, last year’s vicious anti-protest bill still wasn’t authoritarian enough – so they’ve introduced another that could see you criminalised for something as small as carrying a bike chain.
Last week’s fracking vote made clear there are gaping rifts in the Tory Party’s coalition – and it’s fantasy to think Rishi Sunak can easily knit things back together.
All British universities are facing unprecedented strikes after workers have voted overwhelmingly against cuts to their pay and pensions. Their campaign shows how the fighting mood among working people is growing bigger by the day.
Liz Truss’s plan to move the UK embassy in Israel to Jerusalem was a blatant expression of support for apartheid and annexation. It must be consigned to the dustbin of history alongside her premiership.
Rishi Sunak’s rise to power is designed to shore up British capitalism. He will do it by unleashing a massive new wave of austerity – unless we build a movement to stop him.
The ambulance service is on its knees, but the government won’t listen to workers’ warnings – so today, 15,000 start balloting for a strike.
Grace speaks to Milena Ansari, international advocacy officer at Addameer, the Palestinian prisoner support and human rights organization. They discuss the horrendous practice of administrative detention and the role of the Israeli justice system in upholding the occupation and the oppression of Palestinians.
