  • Where next for Mélenchon and La France Insoumise?

    Where next for Mélenchon and La France Insoumise?
    Oct 31 2025
    Tony Saunois, CWI Secretary, discusses his review of Jean-Luc Mélenchon’s book, “Now the People – Revolution in the 21st Century”, with Sean Figg, from the CWI’s International Secretariat. Mélenchon and the movement he leads, La France Insoumise (Frace Unbowed), are well positioned to play a critical role in how the crisis of French capitalism develops in the next period. To advance the interests of the French working class in the crisis the issues of program, organisation and strategy are crucial. In this podcast Tony and Sean look at Mélenchon’s position on these crucial questions.

  • Jeremy Corbyn and Zarah Sultana launch 'Your Party' - What the Socialist Party thinks

    Jeremy Corbyn and Zarah Sultana launch 'Your Party' - What the Socialist Party thinks
    Oct 13 2025
    More analysis at https://www.socialistparty.org.uk/ The fact that steps are being taken to develop ‘Your Party’ will be very welcome news to the 800,000 who have already said they want to join. Against the background of brutal austerity from Starmer’s New Labour Mark II and electoral gains for Reform the need for a workers’ party with socialist policies could not be clearer. Socialist Party members will be joining ‘Your Party’ and fighting for it to become a mass anti-war and anti-cuts workers’ party. To be successful, Your Party must base itself on the power of the mass trade union movement, and its power in the workplaces, where workers come together and prepare to take collective action in defence of their interests. Your Party must also have a socialist programme, opposing the capitalist system and the war and poverty inherent in it. A new party that takes off will need to face up to the challenges of filling the vacuum with a concrete programme to oppose war and cuts, with candidates across the country in next May’s local elections. This will be an opportunity to harness the anger at Labour and the capitalist establishment, and cut across the growth of Reform UK. ‘Your Party’ could potentially win hundreds of councillors and even take control of councils. That in itself would be a huge boost to the confidence of millions. It would open up decisive battles to deliver real change via the significant powers local authorities have to deliver real change on jobs, housing, rent controls and restoring vital services.

  • Episode 145. Youth Walkout against Trump

    Episode 145. Youth Walkout against Trump
    Aug 5 2025
    Today's podcast is a discussion with Socialist Students national Organiser Adam Gillman, about the Youth Walkout against Trump campaign. Go to www.socialiststudents.org.uk to get involved Socialist Students press release Buckingham Palace has booked in Donald Trump’s state visit to the UK for 17-19 September. Already hundreds of students have signed up to walk out of their schools, colleges and universities on Wednesday 17 September – the day that Trump arrives in the UK – as part of the Youth Walkout Against Trump campaign. The youth walkouts, initiated by Socialist Students, will be a protest against the chaos that Trump’s presidency represents for young people’s futures globally. Students will be walking out to instead demand a future to look forward to – for free education, a decent job, and the guarantee of a high-quality and affordable home for all; for an end to climate crisis; and for a world free from war, oppression and exploitation. With Trump’s visit taking place while Parliament is in recess, Keir Starmer and his Labour government will be hoping to escape the firing line of mass protests like those which Trump provoked during his first state visit to the UK in 2018. But the Youth Walkout Against Trump campaign will not let Labour off the hook. Adam Gillman, Socialist Students national organiser,said: “By building the youth walkouts, we can send a powerful message to young people and workers in America that we stand with them against Trump – not with Starmer, who issued the invite for this state visit.” TJ, a 19-year-old student in Leeds, said: “Labour has made cut after cut to young people’s futures while bosses make record profits. now they roll out the red carpet for oppressive leaders abroad. I am building for these walkouts to give young people a way to show Starmer’s Labour that this is not what the public voted for.” Lauren from Wrexham said: “Trump’s visit to the UK is an opportunity to fight back; not just against him but the capitalist system he upholds, which puts the interests of big business above the lives of working-class people. These walkouts are a chance to stand up to Trump, as well as our government who welcome him with open arms, and all other leaders who uphold this corrupt system! That’s why I’m building the youth walkouts against Trump.” Penelope, a college student from Preston, highlighted the common attacks facing students either side of the Atlantic: “Trump has cut funding to US universities, and has attacked students and staff standing up on issues like Palestine. Meanwhile Starmer’s government here raises universities tuition fees and continues the rampant underfunding of all levels of education. By walking out when Trump visits we are showing that young people everywhere have to fight for a decent education, in a capitalist world where none of our hard-won rights can be taken for granted”. While the university term has come to a close, and schools and sixth forms break up next week, Socialist Students will be continuing to build the walkout campaign over the summer – including calling public youth meetings in towns and cities throughout the UK to discuss how young people can build the walkouts and get organised to win a decent future under this Labour government.
