British Labour Movement

The 1911 school strikes: The youth enters the class struggle

Details Marxist Student Federation logo 01 Feb 2023

Teachers and pupils will be joining forces on the picket lines today. Similarly, in 1911, school students walked out, inspired by the movements of the working class. Both then and now, the radicalisation of the youth terrifies the ruling class.

Lessons of the 1926 general strike

Details Ted Grant logo 04 Aug 2022

We republish here an article by Ted Grant on the 1926 general strike. With the class struggle sharpening in Britain, union leaders and workers alike are again raising the idea of a general strike. It is vital we learn the lessons from history.

How the British state came to see Militant as a ‘subversive threat’

Details Steve Jones logo 06 Jan 2022

A new study has revealed how the British secret services took covert action against Trotskyist groups, in particular the Militant, which they regarded as a threat. This should serve as a warning to activists today not to be complacent.

Aberfan disaster: 55 years and still no justice

Details Joe Attard logo 21 Oct 2021

55 years ago today, the Welsh village of Aberfan was hit by an avalanche of mining waste. As with the Grenfell fire, warnings by local residents had been ignored by callous officials. The fight for justice is a fight against capitalism.

Details Rob Sewell, editor of Socialist Appeal logo 24 Aug 2021

On this day 90 years ago, Labour leader Ramsay MacDonald joined forces with the Tories and Liberals to form the National Government, to carry out vicious attacks against the working class. Rob Sewell examines the lessons of the great betrayal.
