A Voice for Peace at the French Senate
This French senator is not as good as Robert Skidelsky, whose speech for peace in Ukraine we printed last month. Nevertheless a Communist Party senator manages not to call for more military spending, but instead to ask for capping of military profits. We don't wage war to get rid of war Jeremy Bacchi, Communist Party senator. … Continue reading A Voice for Peace at the French Senate

On the Road to Digital Serfdom—Editorial
For some years Labour Affairs has pointed to the increasing authoritarian tendencies of our political parties in parliament, noting the lack of substantive policy differences between them and their complicity in introducing legislation that erodes citizen’s rights, most notably the Terrorism Act of 2000, an act breathtaking in its scope, with no temporal limitation and, currently, the … Continue reading On the Road to Digital Serfdom—Editorial

Letters about the ‘Unite the Kingdom, Freedom of Speech’ March on 13th September
Letter to the Morning Star published 27/9/25 THE Star’s front page reporting on the Unite the Kingdom rally under the headline of ‘Rampage’ does a disservice to your esteemed paper (M Star September 15).

Extracts from the BSW Bulletin in October.
Comment by Labour Affairs: The BSW is the only genuine left party in Germany. It advocates peace and anti-imperialism, freedom of expression and distances itself from fashionable identity politics. As such it is far more of a threat to the German political class than other so-called left parties and unlike the AfD it advocates socialist … Continue reading Extracts from the BSW Bulletin in October.

Eamon Dyas I recently watched a video on YouTube made by someone who attended the “Unite the Kingdom” rally on Saturday, 13 September.
