Rather than stabilising the situation in Britain, Johnson's election victory will create further turbulence. With a coming crisis, he will be unable to deliver on his promises. There will be a dramatic shift in consciousness in the next period.

In recent months the monarchy has been thrown into crisis, a symptom of the crisis of capitalism. First we had the proroguing of parliament, then Prince Andrew's train crash interview and now the crisis of "Megxit." Overthrow this feudal relic!

The first round of the leadership contest is over. The key battle now is between Rebecca Long-Bailey on the left and Keir Starmer on the right. We must go on the attack and drive out the remnants of Blairism. Complete the Corbyn revolution!

The future looks bleak for the ruling class with stagnant growth and the threat of a no-deal brexit. Symptoms like the conflict between the US and Iran and the ongoing wildfires in Australia show the depth of the capitalist and climate crisis.

Brexit was central to Labour’s election defeat. Concessions to the Blairites alienated working-class voters in the north and Midlands. In order to move forwards and fight, it is vital to learn the lessons of where it went wrong for the left.

The Tories have recently stepped in to save Flybe. But nothing has been solved and the company still lingers on the edge of bankrupcy, with 2,400 jobs at risk. We say: nationalise the airlines under workers' control!

The recent assassination of General Soleimani was a clear act of imperialist aggression. This weekend, Socialist Appeal supporters marched with thousands of others in protest of Trump's warmongering. No to imperialist aggression!

International

The Tories plan to attack the trade unions, starting with the rail unions first. New laws will force striking rail workers to provide a 'bare bones' service - a clear attack on the right to strike. The unions must organise a fightback.
