🚨 RCP MEMBER ARRESTED BY MET POLICE AT UCL STUDENT PALESTINE DEMO - SHARE WIDELY AND BE ON STANDBY TO MOBILISE. 🚨
A leading communist student organiser has been arrested at a student-led protest demanding that UCL cuts its ties with arms manufacturers like BAE Systems, whose profits are soaked in Palestinian blood.
After making a speech calling for student and worker control over the university, and for a mass movement against imperialism, and to kick capitalism off campus, comrades report that a Zionist provocateur complained to the police that the speech was offensive.
Then, without warning, multiple police officers detained our comrade, dragged him off to one side, and arrested him.
Following the arrest, a "battalion" of police officers arrived. Clearly, the Met has nothing better to do than to repress young people for expressing their democratic rights and protesting an ongoing genocide.
Meanwhile, the likes of Benjamin Netanyahu, Keir Starmer, David Lammy, Yvette Cooper, and the rest of the corrupt, bloodsoaked establishment are left to walk around free and undisturbed, despite their endless list of crimes against workers and the oppressed.
We were given no reason for the arrest by police. And we currently don't know where he was taken. But STAY TUNED for further info. And BE ON STANDBY TO PROTEST.
AN INJURY TO ONE IS AN INJURY TO ALL! FREE OUR COMRADE! ✊
FREE PALESTINE! FIGHT BRITISH IMPERIALISM! 🇵🇸
DOWN WITH STARMER'S STATE REPRESSION! ⬇️
ICE just shot ANOTHER person in Minneapolis, while he was prone on the ground, after being beaten up by 6 or 7 officers.
The day after a massive day of action across Minnesota.
If this keeps up, things could REALLY kick off.
The reason why RAM has become four times more expensive is that a huge amount of RAM that has not yet been produced was purchased with non-existent money to be installed in GPUs that also have not yet been produced, in order to place them in data centers that have not yet been built, powered by infrastructure that may never appear, to satisfy demand that does not actually exist and to obtain profit that is mathematically impossible.

Love this piece in The Communist.

The fact Reeves was forced to scale back their mansion tax from £1.5m homes to only £2m homes by Labour MPs just shows how rotten the Labour Party has become.
The "factional" disagreements displayed this weekend at the Your Party Congress have no distinguishing identity or content whatsoever. Apart from vague calls for "party democracy" and "socialist principles", there is no discussion around political perspectives. It's all hollow.
@FPLRiddler For sure and Labour's plans to build affordable housing have collapsed too. It's likely landlords will up the rent to counter the cost - we should say freeze the rent too and make the landlords pay!
As a side note, on the eve of the Your Party Congress, the YP was not mentioned once - not even when talking about future alternatives to Labour's government or how we can fight it today. This is pretty damning for a party that amassed 800k signatures a few months ago.
Attended the Manchester Transport workers picket this morning and I am always inspired by the creativity and knowledge of the workers in how to run their industry cheaply and with better quality. The bosses, hiding from the strikers, openly hold back this development for profit.
