June marks ten years since the referendum, the glorious referendum, which saw the British people vote to leave the European Union.

Britain needs no war
British workers cannot leave it to Keir Starmer and his government to decide on what our country does about war across the Middle East. Britain must stop interfering in other sovereign nations and get out of NATO.
No to war! Out of NATO now!
5 March 2026
Britain’s people must decide against the USA’s attack on Iran, born of the desire to control global energy. This is not a war of our making, we should have no part of it.
Defend Britain! Out of NATO!
Rising international tensions and the threat of wide scale war are clear for everyone to see. The question for British workers is whether we accept that the government knows what it is doing and needs our support.
Ditch “better”. Go for change.
Parliamentary elections, we have consistently said, change nothing. And despite all the froth around the local elections in May, they too will change nothing fundamental in Britain.
No to Starmer’s Brexit reverse
26 January 2026
The Labour government cunningly tries to disguise its plan to reverse Brexit is as dynamic realignment with the EU. British workers should not be fooled.
US incursion threatens all, even Britain
7 January 2026
US military action against Venezuela should be universally condemned as a violation of sovereignty. This highlights once again the role of Britain in NATO, and the presence of US bases here. They pose a threat to our sovereignty.
Our fight is in Britain, not Palestine
Obsession with the appalling events in Palestine is to the detriment of workers here in Britain.
Look forwards, not backwards
January is the month of Janus, the two-faced god looking backwards and forwards. It’s also time to reflect on coming anniversaries; their importance lies in learning lessons for the future...
Palestine: a dangerous obsession
28 November 2025
Obsession with the appalling events in Palestine is to the detriment of workers here in Britain. And unless we force the government to stay out of the conflict, will not help the people of the region.
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.
Tax and war: workers have a choice
Taxes will rise in the Budget on 26 November – what’s the excuse? Tories, Reform, Brexit, lazy workers, low productivity. Never the EU, never devolution, never net zero policy, never lack of investment, never the debt to financial markets and interest paid. Never capitalism.
Time to talk about immigration
According to the most recent figures from the Office of National Statistics, the population of England and Wales rose by 706,881 in a year, to 61.8 million by June 2024.
Organise! Educate! Control!
When workers discuss the state Britain is in, the question that follows inevitably is what can be done about it? It’s a tough question, one not yet answered.
Questions and answers
Workers have many questions. Will there be a war? How can Britain secure the energy we need? How much of our food can we grow here?
Back off out of the Middle East!
British involvement in overseas adventures should be a thing of the past. It has brought conflict, not peace. And now British armed forces are to be used against Iran.
Use your power
Every day, everywhere in Britain and across the world workers produce the necessities of life and all that makes up civilisation. Yet in Britain and elsewhere workers are not in control.
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.
Reject the damaging productivity myth
Too often discussion about productivity in Britain is about British workers not working hard enough. But increases in productivity stem from investment, in new plant and machinery and workers’ education and skills.
No troops to Ukraine! Out of NATO!
Three years after Russia invaded Ukraine, and after decades of US meddling in that country, there is no peace in the region. Britain should stay out and focus on the needs of our own country.
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.
Change the climate of debate
The new government has shown that all parliamentary parties are essentially the same in their attitude to British workers. This is underlined by the government’s cowardly attack on the living standards of the more vulnerable section of our class.
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.
Focus on Britain! No support for foreign wars!
11 October 2024
Escalating military action in the Middle East rightly worries British workers. But nothing good comes out of the involvement of our leaders in these conflicts. We should simply say “stay out”.
Immigration, class and nation
The massive increase in immigration – both legal and illegal – has formed a constant background to events in Britain for over two decades. This is no accident.
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.
Take charge, take control
These are critical times for the working class and for Britain. Our fight is here, and no election changes that.
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.
