Trump has begun a new imperialist war for regime change. This aggression must be resisted by the international working-class movement. We must take to the streets to say: Hands off Venezuela! Come along to our public meeting to discuss next steps in the fight against imperialism

The political landscape in Britain is being redrawn, and the changes taking place are much deeper than a superficial reading of the 2024 election results suggest. These changes are rooted in the perfect storm of crisis plaguing every part of the global capitalist system.

We urgently need a new left party of struggle. This pamphlet, produced by Socialist Alternative, explores what that party should look like, looking at lessons from the history of the workers' movement in Britain and internationally. The time for this debate is now.

Leicester has a proud record of organising against racists and today was no exception. The far right was vastly outnumbered by the counter protest and were eventually forced to beat a retreat.
