May Day, also known as International Workers' Day, was established in 1889 by the Second International, in commemoration of the fight for the 8-hour working day by the American labour movement.

133 years later, workers across the world are still fighting the same battles: against poverty pay; against long hours and injurious conditions; and for decent, secure jobs.

Already, as inflation bites and bosses step up their attacks, workers in the UK are "rising like lions from their slumber". New layers are being drawn into struggle to defend their lives and livelihoods. This is leading to a process of transformation within the unions.

The task ahead is to complete this transformation: to forge a Marxist leadership in the trade union movement - armed with a socialist programme - that can mobilise workers for a militant fightback against the Tories and the bosses.

As Lenin remarked: "Let us then prepare with redoubled energy for the decisive battle that is at hand!... Let the celebration of May Day win thousands of new fighters to our cause and swell our forces in the great struggle for the freedom of all the people, for the liberation of all who toil from the yoke of capital!"

Over the past few weeks, tension on the Ukraine-Russian borders has been constantly escalating. According to the USA intelligence service, Russia has amassed over 100,000 troops at the border.
But is a full scale invasion of Ukraine actually on the table? What does Putin want, and what are we learning about NATO’s weaknesses in the region as the events unfold?

The BBC being defunded is not something that the left should celebrate. The privatisation of any institution should naturally be opposed as part of the Tories' austerity agenda.
It is not enough, however, to call for the continued public funding of the BBC. Under capitalism, 'public funding' simply means workers being taxed to pay for a media that doesn't represent them or their interests. People will be left asking "why should our incomes be squeezed so that the Tories and the bosses can have their own platform?"
Privatised or not, the BBC will remain a weapon of the establishment unless it is brought under democratic workers' control. The same applies to all of the media giants. This is how the question must be posed.

The BBC is coming under fire from all angles: from the Tory government with its proposed funding shake-up; and from left-wingers angry at blatant bias. All of this highlights the need for a media that represents the voice of the working class.

A massive strike has been raging in Guadeloupe now for more than two weeks. The mass action was triggered by the imposition of vaccine mandates. This was the straw that broke that camel’s back for the working masses and youth, after years of prolonged attacks by French imperialism.

Capitalism offers no prospect of improvement to the workers in France's overseas territories. The struggle of the workers in Guadeloupe is our struggle! It is the duty of the French labour movement to actively support this mobilisation. Their victory will also be the victory of the workers of the world!

A strike has been raging for a fortnight in Guadeloupe, triggered by the imposition of compulsory vaccinations. This was the straw that broke the camel’s back following a long period of attacks. Similar explosions are taking place throughout French imperialism’s overseas territories.
