Ukraine Responsible for Nord Stream Pipeline Bombing
One of the poorly covered stories in the UK media, is that of the trail of the Ukraine national, Serhii Kuznietsov, in Germany, charged with the demolition of the Nord Stream pipeline in 2022. One of the remarkable aspects of this story is the scant attention it has attracted in the UK media. Why? By…

Andy Burnham could be a force for peace
I anticipated that UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham would change the policy of his predecessor, Keir Starmer, and stop supporting the NATO-provoked war in Ukraine. There’s a clear economic reason: since 2022, the UK has spent at least £35 billion on Ukraine, far more than the cost of The Triple Lock – now under threat –…

Are we already occupied?
Yesterday (10th of September), the Ministry of Defence released a clip of the Secretary of State for Defence, Wes Streeting, speaking in Parliament, replete with his Union Jack and Ukraine flag lapel badges.In his statement, Streeting claimed that: “The UK is not at war with Russia, nor do we seek confrontation with Russia, nor do…

Irish Unification
Andy Burnham virtually daily piles idiocy upon duplicity. So far we have had his David Brentish guitar plucking in Ukraine whilst simultaneously squandering billions as well as taking another massive step towards war and Armageddon, his u-turn on political donations, proposed scrapping of local planning control in the interests of the worst reactionary US corporations,…

Burnham wants Workfare
In my part of the country, we have a saying; “ ’Gob can say ‘owt”. Meaning that there is often a big difference between what people say and what people do. In the case of Andy Burnham, the gap is proving to be very wide. Burnham made big promises to address the issue of Youth…

Burnham is making the Biggest Economic and Armaments Blunder
Recently appointed British Prime Minister Andy Burnham is intent on following in the footsteps of not only his immediate predecessor Keir Starmer but also those Tory PM’s including the utterly appalling Boris Johnson in his slavish acquiescence to those globalist forces led by the US in the drive to control or contain those countries looking…

The Scottish Government Must Stop Exporting Ferry Contracts and Invest in Port Glasgow
The news from Ferguson Marine is a damning indictment of the Scottish government’s ferry procurement strategy. The yard need not face an “inevitable gap” and be “forced” to shed 70 skilled posts with proper contract management resulting in its core staff dropping from 247 to just 177 – ministers have yet to even contact the…

On Hiroshima Day
The Socialist Labour Party is unequivocally opposed to nuclear weapons. On this day 81 years ago America dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima, Japan, killing instantly in excess of 100,000 innocent people. Many more died later because of injuries and the effect of radiation. This was the first use of such a weapon of mass…

No Change
In July, the last statement of the Starmer led government told the British people to store food,water and essentials in case of a Russian cyber attack. A huge Civil Defence exercise is planned for 2027. Only a few years ago there were empty shelves and panic during the Covid Pandemic. In the Cold War Era…

SLP Statement on Migration
The situation in the Spanish colony Ceuta has once again brought the question of immigration and migration to the fore. Whether or not the current incident was a manufactured, hybrid war event brought on by elements hostile to Spanish government policy towards the US and Israel is an open question. However the matter of current…

Peace
The slaughter of innocents, ethnic cleansing, apartheid, and genocide in Palestine/Gaza has been condemned by the United Nations, supported by the overwhelming majority of countries throughout the world. The SLP welcomes the January 2024 judgement of the International Court of Justice condemning the genocidal action of Israel in Gaza. We also welcome the May 2024…

Farage and Who really runs Britain
Farage calls it a personal gift, others call it a bung, an undeclared bung. Bung or gift it will cost the British taxpayers £250,000 to run the by-election his resignation has now caused, a by-election that will probably be only contested by Farage and Count Binface. This is nothing short of contempt and abuse of…

The United States intends to invade Cuba
US President Trump threatens to invade Cuba yet again and completely occupy the whole island as the United States did from 1899 to the 1950s. In 1961, the US invaded Cuba in an operation which became known as “The Bay of Pigs”, seeking to restore the island to the millionaires and gangsters who for decades…

Socialist Labour Party Statement on the Proposed Increase in Defence Spending
We are dismayed to hear of Kier Starmer’s proposals to increase the UK’s defence spending by £15 Billion. This will inevitably lead to cuts in public services when our country is already reeling from decades of austerity. Moreover, the earthquake disaster in Venezuela demands a positive and immediate response from the UK government, with the…

Andy Burnham must cut Defence Spending
By Arthur Scargill I hope Andy Burnham will cut the Government Spending on arms in both the United Kingdom and sales to other countries, in particular the total waste of money pledged to the fascist government in Ukraine. A regime which seized power in a coup d’etat in 2014, which forced a president to flee…

Keir Starmer is not going quietly
Starmer is determined not to leave office quietly. He has been making offers to his chief adversary, Andy Burnham, of a high position in his administration if he doesn’t challenge his leadership. Whether it is coincidental today, Moscow has suffered serious drone attacks. The person sabre rattling is not Starmer but Zelensky still acting as…

28th of May, 2026 The Socialist Labour Party UK wishes to express its support for, and solidarity with the people and government of the Republic of Cuba during this time. We are alarmed at the increasing escalation of threats against the people and government of Cuba emanating from the United States, via the Trump administration.…

Leave Cuba Alone!
The lawless immoral cesspit of a government in the USA fresh from just murdering 150 young girls and boys and their teachers and thousands of innocent civilians in Iran have indicted former Cuban leader Raul Castro, not content with the inhumanity they have inflicted upon the people of Cuba since the triumph of the revolution…

Scargill Proved Right Again
In the 1970s, 1980s, 1990s and throughout the 21st Century 2000- 2026 Arthur Scargill has made it clear that the UK could produce clean coal with no carbon emissions. He not only told miners but also told Government Select Committees. At the time,he was described as talking nonsense. The Chinese Academy of Sciences at Shenzhen…
