Today’s @M_Star_Online front page: ‘IRAN WAR IS ILLEGAL’ ✊

British involvement in the Iran war is unlawful, legal experts have said, raising concerns that a new “dodgy dossier” convinced Sir Keir Starmer to launch the disastrous Middle East conflict. The TUC has repeatedly called the Iran war illegal, and the legal opinion commissioned by the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND) concludes there are “significant questions” as to whether Britain is breaching international law by refusing US claims that it is acting out of “collective self-defence”.

On Remembrance Sunday, the Communist Party of Britain honours the memory of all those who died in the wars of the 20th century and since, working people sent to fight in conflicts whose causes were rarely of their making.

We remember the millions who fell in the two world wars, the colonial conflicts, and the wars of intervention that followed. We remember too the victims of fascism, paying special tribute to the Soviet Red Army, the international brigades, and the anti-fascist partisans who gave their lives in the struggle for human liberation.

But remembrance must not be reduced to state ceremony or national chauvinism. The best way to honour the dead is to fight for the living: for peace, for justice, and against the monopoly corporations that profit from war.

We oppose the current drive toward global war, not from pacifism, but from the standpoint of the working class.

We demand an immediate end to Britain’s involvement in NATO, a ban on arms exports to aggressor regimes, and the complete scrapping of the Trident nuclear weapons system. Every pound squandered on weapons of mass destruction is a pound stolen from our NHS, housing, and public services.

Today we reaffirm our commitment to international working-class solidarity, anti-imperialism, and a foreign policy based on peace and international cooperation. We call on the trade union movement to stand firm against militarism.

We remember the fallen, and we pledge to struggle for the socialist world they were denied.

No to NATO aggression!
Scrap Trident, fund our public services!
Never again war. Never again fascism.

7 November (25 October on the old Julian calendar) marks 109 years since the working class took history into its own hands.

The October Revolution proved that capitalism is not permanent, and that a disciplined working class can win power and build a new society.

Spontaneous anger is not enough to defeat the ruling class. We need organisation, clarity, and revolutionary political power to tear down exploitation and build socialism.

Don't just watch history - make it.

Join the Communist Party of Britain.

This weekend's @M_Star_Online front page: END CORPORATE NHS CAPTURE - DROP PALANTIR 🏥✊

Health Secretary Yvette Cooper has been accused of a shameful dereliction of duty following reports that the government will extend the NHS’s contract with Palantir, a tech company linked to the Gaza genocide. Unions, medics and two Commons committees have urged ministers to axe the £1bn framework.

The company’s billionaire founder Peter Thiel has questioned the “compatibility of freedom and democracy” - yet his firm stands to profit further. Labour’s decision to extend the contract is in “total contradiction” with Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband’s commitment that Britain acts against companies facilitating Israel’s war.
