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

"In Minority Rule, @novaramedia's Ash Sarkar addresses the ‘culture wars’ that have become so central to the political landscape of Britain. The book is a deep dive into the increasingly polarised public debates centering around questions of identity."

Come to the book launch of 'The new party we need'. 7.30pm Wednesday October 23 at Leicester Secular Hall, Humberstone Gate, LE1 1WB

[Leicester Socialist Alternative @LeicSocAlt]

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.

[Leicester Socialist Alternative @LeicSocAlt]

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.

The growth of conspiracy theorists has gone hand in hand with the rise of Messiah-like right-wing populist politicians – and that is not coincidental. Trump, Bolsanaro, Milei and others are all indicators of the rotten state of global capitalism.

The latest book by Grace Blakeley, "Vulture Capitalism", dispels and dismantles some of the basic myths of capitalism. But does it provide a viable way out of the system? Read our latest review!

[Socialist Alternative - England, Wales & Scotland @SocialistAltEWS]

Tom, a member of Socialist Alternative in Merseyside, interviewed by Channel 5 on the rise of the far right, not just in Britain, but internationally, and crucially, what is needed to fight back against the far right.

3. Labour has no answers! Build a new left party of struggle with socialist policies
4. Capitalism is crisis – for a socialist alternative to racism, poverty, war and violence.

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.

[Leicester Socialist Alternative @LeicSocAlt]

We say:

1. Solidarity with Southport – for a united working class stand to resist racist division
2. Build a mass movement to stamp out racism. Unions must mobilise now to oppose the far-right wherever they raise their heads
