Mick Lynch: Rail Privatisation Has Been 30 Years of Failure
The privatisation of British Rail began this month in 1993. It created a system that prioritises profit above the wellbeing of both workers and passengers — and it's time to bring it to an end, writes RMT general secretary Mick Lynch.
Our Debt to Mark Fisher
Mark Fisher passed away four years ago today. In bleak times, his writing showed a new generation that another world was possible — and paved the way for socialist revival.
Rebuilding the Bonds
The miners' strike was sustained by a broad coalition that coalesced entire communities. Forty years on, we must rebuild the bonds of solidarity, learn the lessons of defeat and reilluminate the possibilities that went dark as the pit entrances swung back open.
Jeremy Corbyn: ‘Suppression of Democracy Is a Dangerous Thing’
At his campaign launch, Jeremy Corbyn explains to Tribune that his run against Keir Starmer's Labour is more than about social justice — it’s about defending the fundamental principles of democracy and honesty in politics.
In Defence of Fossil Free Books
Howard Jacobson has denounced a campaign against arms manufacturers and fossil fuel companies sponsoring literary festivals, arguing that writers shouldn’t take political action. But his denunciation ignores that complicity is also a political act.

Our Movement Could Transform Britain
With a radical manifesto, an enthusiasm for change and an active membership, a Labour victory in next week's election could transform Britain for a generation.
Rebuilding the Red Bases
To popularise the hope of a better future, socialists must once again become a meaningful part of working-class communities.
Coronavirus Has Exposed Capitalism’s Weaknesses
The coronavirus crisis has revealed the fragility of a system built on decades of financialisation and globalisation – but the task for the Left is to offer a real alternative, argues Costas Lapavitsas.
Thurrock Council and the Financialisation of Local Government
In the 1980s Thurrock was a hotbed of left-wing activity, "an island of red in a sea of blue." Today its council is pioneering in other directions – by replacing funding cuts with vast speculative investments.
Obama’s Third Term
While liberals swoon and right-wingers predict the end of days, there's little to suggest Joe Biden's presidency will be transformative – for better or worse, its early weeks look very much like a new Obama era.
‘Basic Instinct’ Is What the Establishment Thinks of Working-Class Women
The disgusting smear directed at Angela Rayner this weekend proved how Britain's elites view not just women, but working-class women in particular – and we shouldn't let their insincere apologies say otherwise.
Radical Gaming
A new left-wing board game puts players in the role of maniacal plutocrats trying to take over the world. Its creator explains how it responds to the wider phenomenon of ‘gamified capitalism’.
