The Communist Party of Britain condemns the recent wave of racist violence in Belfast and Glasgow. These attacks on black families and migrant communities are pogroms. They are a direct and deliberate echo of the sectarian pogroms seen in the 1960s and 70s.
The far right is using this violence to divide working-class communities. They are supported by billionaire-owned social media platforms that spread disinformation to protect the interests of the ruling class.
We call on the labour and trade union movement to organise and stand in solidarity with those under attack. The real cause of the crisis in housing, healthcare, and jobs is the capitalist system, not our neighbours.
No to racist violence. Build working-class unity.

South West Water fined £1.853m for supplying contaminated drinking water.
SWW is a serial offender, loses 107m litres of water daily to leaky pipes, dumped sewage in rivers for 407,006 hours.
Still trades. No exec fined, charged. People fleeced.

Pride began as a struggle against brutal, often violent, persecution. It should not be reduced to a corporate branding exercise, nor surrendered to the right’s divide-and-rule culture war.
The ruling class wants workers divided: gay against straight, migrant against British-born, young against old. But the real enemy is not other workers. It is the system that profits from low wages, insecure housing, underfunded healthcare, discrimination, war and exploitation.
Liberal identity politics tells LGBT workers to look for liberation through CEOs, billionaires, celebrities, police, soldiers and politicians who “look like us”. But representation at the top does not free those at the bottom. Rainbow capitalism sells visibility while leaving working-class LGBT people to face poverty, insecure work, poor housing, hate crime, and barriers to decent healthcare.
A Marxist approach starts from solidarity amongst all workers. The struggle of LGBT workers is part of the wider struggle of the working class: for political independence, safe and dignified work, public ownership, healthcare, housing, peace, and freedom from persecution.
This Pride Month, reject scapegoating. Reject pinkwashing. Reject ruling-class divide and conquer.
Unite as workers. Fight oppression. Fight capitalism.
The road to LGBT liberation is the road to socialism.

Arm boss in line for billion-dollar payday if UK headquartered chipmaker hits targets.
Fat-cattery fuelled by higher prices. Inequalities deepen. Rich buy power, political parties.

The top civil servant at the Health Department "worked for or held shares in 12 companies that benefited from public contracts with DHSC or related health organisations"
She was elevated to the top role by Wes Streeting
She should resign. And we must end NHS privatisation.
Banning Cenk Uyghur and Hasan Piker from entering the UK is an absurd and cowardly decision from an increasingly authoritarian government.
Let us call this what it is: an attack on the freedom to criticise Israel, as well as the UK government’s own complicity in genocide.
Thames Water asks millions to stop using hosepipes.
A few days sunshine and infrastructure can't cope
TW built no new reservoir since 1989, loses 570m-592m litres of water daily to leaky pipes
Sewage dumped in rivers. Customers fleeced. TW still trades.

‘They’re a private company, run for profit!’: fury in Kent at South East Water’s outages.
SEW blames hot weather, not lack of investment.
Water companies in England routinely breach licence terms, still operate, fleece people, dump sewage in rivers.

Tony Blair thinks the answer to this country’s problems is AI, welfare cuts and endless spending on war.
Who benefits? Arms companies and tech billionaires.
Once again, Blair is wrong. The answer is a redistribution of wealth and power and the relentless search for peace.
