WHY I AM STANDING FOR THE NEC

July 27, 2020 by Roger Silverman

by Roger Silverman As an NEC member, I would campaign vigorously to restore the supremacy of party conference, uphold the democratic right of open selection of candidates for office, end arbitrary suspensions, and put forward radical socialist policies along the lines of the 2019 election manifesto. I was born into a Labour family and have been a lifelong party activist. My father was a … [Read more...]

Covid19 – Change the System!

April 4, 2020 by Web Editor

The following statement was issued on 17th March by the Executive Committee of West Ham Constituency Labour Party.  For socialists, the signs of capitalism’s failed response to a health crisis are glaringly plain for all to see.

Transforming Bradford

Editorial: On the Brink Spring 2020

February 18, 2020 by Roger Silverman

This is no time for glib slogans. December’s election result is a serious setback. It clears the way for the most brutal Tory attacks yet seen on our living standards and our democratic rights, destroying the last remaining vestiges of the welfare state and plunging into despair a generation of youth desperate for the chance of a future. It also puts at risk the advances made in the last four … [Read more...]

UK Election 2019

December 21, 2019 by Eddie Doveton Leave a Comment

This election was a big defeat for the Labour Party. There will be much debate and questioning in its aftermath.  The enemies of socialism will do their best to use the election result to try and destroy the socialist message.

Labour and Britain’s Crisis

September 15, 2019 by Roger Silverman

Beneath the immediate crisis over whether, when and how Britain is to leave the European Union lies a deeper trend: the chronic decline and death agony of British capitalism. Where once it was the “workshop of the world”, today it is losing its last remnants of productive industry, most of them by now assembly plants owned by Japanese, Indian and other foreign companies. Where once it ruled “an … [Read more...]

Could there be a Coup?

August 11, 2019 by Roger Silverman

In this article Roger Silverman briefly considers the issue of attempts to undermine a left-leaning Corbyn government. Chris Mullins' novel “A Very British Coup” does draw an authentic picture of the underhand practices of the British state, perfected over centuries of colonial rule.
