Build a cross-community voice for the many, not the few The stunning electoral upset delivered by Jeremy Corbyn on the basis of a radical, left platform has had an electrifying impact and is potentially a historic turning point. He has engaged a new generation of youth in politics and smashed the lie that socialist policies are unpopular. In contrast, predictions ...

Since the general election day, Cardiff has been a city in turmoil. Nothing illustrates it better than the amazing response that Cardiff Socialist Party had during our Saturday stalls and the ‘Kick out the Tories’ demonstration called by Cardiff People’s Assembly. We set up a big stall in the city centre two hours before the demonstration and the mood was ...

The austerity measures implemented since 2010 have disproportionately affected women. Specialist services for victims and survivors of sexual and domestic violence have been decimated, cutting off lifelines for many. Now, as a supposed protection against their vicious benefit cuts, the Tories have implemented a ‘rape clause’. This is an exception allowing benefits to be claimed for more than two children ...

On 15 March, a group of women in the US announced a strike that became headline news across the country. This was no ordinary strike threat. No ordinary workplace. Feeling their talks for equal pay were going nowhere, the US women’s national hockey team played their strongest hand. Just one week before the World Championships in Michigan, the title holders ...

The requirement for victims to complete an eight-page form in order to qualify for the so-called “rape clause” exemption from child benefit cuts has led to a national outcry.

Workers are suffering the most prolonged ...

They are telling Ford: come to the table and commit to sourcing that makes the plant viable for all those who want to work in it, or there will be action. It is absolutely correct to tell Ford and the politicians in ...

Saturday, January 21st, 2017, will go down in the history books as a truly historic moment. We saw a global revolt of women, not just against Trump but against the ideas and interests he represents; misogyny, racism and the rule of the billionaires. These massive displays of defiance have not come out of thin air. They have come on the ...

The warnings of the run down of the Bridgend plant by Ford workers have unfortunately proved correct. Ford has leaked documents indicating the run down of the plant over the next four years. By linking the closure to overtime payments the company is clearly trying to use the threat of closure to force through cuts in pay and conditions at ...

The 1917 Russian revolution was a momentous moment in working class history, in which women played a pivotal and active role.
