If the Bill becomes an act of parliament and is transmitted as a request for delay until January then a general election becomes a near certainty.

Britain’s New Prime Minister: Where Next?

Long live May Day! Defend internationalism!

May Day has always been a focus for workers around the world and this year it is a contrasting picture all right. With a monstrous racist and misogynist in the White House, and an admirer of fascist junta, Jair Bolsonaro, in the presidential place in Brazil, there are plenty of shadows
