Five activists involved in El Salvador’s historic metal mining ban have been arrested. The spurious charges are proof of the threat authoritarian president Bukele’s cosy relationship with big business poses — both to democracy and to human life.
Israel’s new massacres have only furthered the massive psychological devastation of Gaza’s children, suffering in huge numbers from mass depression, mutism, bedwetting and suicidal thoughts.
Hundreds of ‘arm’s-length bodies’ are delivering public services worth over £220 billion of taxpayers’ money. They cannot be allowed to evade public scrutiny.
There is no future for a country with no real approach to developing a green steel industry — Port Talbot’s treatment demonstrates the Tories’ lack of seriousness to this reality.
For eight decades since Hiroshima and Nagasaki, there has been a knife-edge balancing act to prevent further nuclear usage. We are moving further away from it — and at our peril.
Now thousands of steelworkers are facing an uncertain future in an area already devastated by decades of neglect, serious state intervention – and a real industrial strategy for steel communities – is desperately needed.
Time and again, working-class people are forced to fight long and hard to get justice while the rich get off scot-free. It’s time those in positions of power stopped sitting on their hands, writes Ian Lavery MP.
Poor Things is a scabrous satire of the stifling rationalism and oppressive hierarchies of class, imperialism and gender which propelled Glasgow’s rapid industrialisation in the nineteenth century. But it is also a universal story.

At the International Court of Justice, South Africa spoke on behalf of the billions of people who oppose Israel’s genocide in Gaza — and put Western governments to shame for their deplorable complicity.
From Black Lives Matter to the death of the Queen, the fierce arguments generated by minute silences in football reflect how the game has become a battleground where fans contest their political and cultural identities.
True justice for Awaab Ishak, the baby who died as a result of prolonged exposure to mould, doesn’t just mean making slum landlords pay for their crimes — but actually confronting the housing crisis that creates them.
The Welsh Labour leadership election is an opportunity to examine the economic and social stress Wales finds itself in today — and to highlight concrete, socialist solutions for the country, writes Beth Winter MP.
In the 1960s, Kate Macintosh designed modernist public housing for the elderly. Her buildings are monuments to what architecture can achieve when liberated from the constraints of the property market.
Bill Clinton’s neoliberal agenda deliberately gutted social security and facilitated the offshoring of manufacturing — a calculated betrayal of organised labour from which America’s working class has never recovered.
Some of the cultural responses to the Paris Commune of 1871 — demonising revolutionaries and justifying soldiers’ atrocities — demonstrate just how deeply elements of British reactionism run.
