Image of MP Richard Quigley carrying a placard that says “I am backing amendments to the Railways Bill to cut passenger fares, end rolling stock profiteering, give passengers a seat at the table in the railway and reverse rail cuts and reconnect our communities”

The Railways Bill leaves a huge backdoor for privatisation.

📢The government promised public ownership.

🚆They must deliver real public ownership.

Time for MPs to join Richard Quigley in demanding a railway that delivers for us, not private shareholders: weownit.org.uk/act-now/pass...

Anti-war event at the Friends' Meeting House on Thursday week.

All Filton 24 activists have now been acquitted of aggravated burglary.

This government has done everything it can to demonise the Palestine movement. It has failed.

Communists in London marching in solidarity with Palestine.

Marking the end of the brutal siege of Leningrad on 27 January 1944.
1.2 million people were murdered by the Nazi and their Finnish allies' attempt to starve the city to death.
A timely reminder this Holocaust Memorial Day of the huge sacrifices made - and the continuing fight - to defeat fascism.

Headline: 'Unite staff to strike over union victimisation' with the quote 'Across the trade union movement there is one thing we are all united on: that we do not act unlawfully towards our own. This issue will now bring together all voices across our movement. The victimisation of our Health and Safety rep and the threat to their job and livelihood must end immediately."

Regrettably our members will be commencing strike action from 9 February over the victimisation of our Health and Safety Officer.

#OnThisDay in 1919, the Spartacist uprising in Berlin was crushed by Freikorps forces. Today, tens of thousands will march through Berlin in commemoration of that grim anniversary, resolving to fight for a socialist future.

Bombing a sovereign nation and kidnapping the President is the behaviour of a cowboy state.

The United States’ attack on Venezuela is illegal — and it is utterly shameful that the UK government refuses to condemn this reckless act of war.

Manchester Communists meet to set the agenda for 2026.

The Communist Party of Britain completely condemns the United States’ shameless, vicious and illegal surprise attack against Venezuela.
