Iran war ends in US defeat
25 June 2026
The criminal war waged on Iran by the USA has come to an end, for now. This is important, not just because needless loss of life has ceased, but because the US has lost.

Mother Courage – how wars are sustained
31 May 2026
A new production of Mother Courage and her Children at the Globe Theatre is a bold and successful re-imagining of Brecht’s 1939 masterpiece. Written in exile, it’s one of several plays he aimed at the rising threat of fascism.
Cuba prepares for US attack
20 May 2026
Cuba is under threat of attack by the USA. Trump has blocked oil supplies and is preparing military action. Cuba says this is without legitimate excuse as it prepares to defend itself.
Starmer’s EU spree
11 May 2026
Keir Starmer’s latest trip abroad is going to cost British taxpayers a load of money – and carries forward his plans for closer EU alignment.
Britain needs no war
British workers cannot leave it to Keir Starmer and his government to decide on what our country does about war across the Middle East. Britain must stop interfering in other sovereign nations and get out of NATO.
Inflation: war on workers
War means that prices, and taxes, go up. It is both a cause of inflation and an excuse for government and employers to pass off a systemic element of capitalism as nothing to do with them…
The fight for the Arctic: preparing for war
In the first of a two-part feature Workers looks at what’s going on in the Arctic, and the looming war over its natural resources…
War in the Middle East: a British working class response
War in the Middle East: a British working class response
Tuesday 2 June 2026 19:00
War in the Middle East underlines the reality that the USA is no friend of the British working class. But our country is entangled with the US and that needs to change.
Britain can be far more self-reliant. To make that happen, the British working class must take charge.
How can we bring that about?
Come along and discuss. Email info@cpbml.org.uk for an invitation.
EU prepares for war
25 March 2026
The EU has long been preparing for war with pushing increased military spending by member states – but also increasing its central control. Not everyone is happy, but Keir Starmer wants to tag along.
No to war! Out of NATO now!
5 March 2026
Britain’s people must decide against the USA’s attack on Iran, born of the desire to control global energy. This is not a war of our making, we should have no part of it.
No to NATO and US warmaking!
Britain needs to be out of NATO and out of the grip of US foreign policy. The alternative is to be dragged into wars of America’s – and the EU’s – making…
1936: Germany plans for war
With chancellor Rachel Reeves looking around for funds to prepare for war, it’s instructive to see how the Nazis approached the problem…
May Day 2026: For British independence, for peace
May Day 2026: For British independence, for peace
Friday 1 May 2026 19:30
Friday 1 May, 7.30pm
Bertrand Russell Room, Conway Hall, Red Lion Square, London WC1R 4RL
On May Day we take stock of Britain and the world.
The ruling class and the government use wars overseas to divert from their attack against the British working class, foremost their plan to rejoin the EU. Reject their plan and join us in rebuilding an independent Britain.
The British working class can act as a force for peace by calling for an end to foreign adventures and interference by our government. We must use our resources for our many needs here in Britain. The essential and urgent task for workers is to rebuild and maintain an independent industrial base – including defence.
Come to celebrate May Day and join the discussion.
All welcome. Free Entry.
Workers of all lands, unite!
Fight for independence!
No to war!

No peace with Trump’s Board
26 January 2026
President Donald Trump has created a “Board of Peace”. The way things are going, it looks more like an attempt to maintain US hegemony over international affairs and to bypass the United Nations.
US incursion threatens all, even Britain
7 January 2026
US military action against Venezuela should be universally condemned as a violation of sovereignty. This highlights once again the role of Britain in NATO, and the presence of US bases here. They pose a threat to our sovereignty.
Palestine: a dangerous obsession
28 November 2025
Obsession with the appalling events in Palestine is to the detriment of workers here in Britain. And unless we force the government to stay out of the conflict, will not help the people of the region.
Tax and war: workers have a choice
Taxes will rise in the Budget on 26 November – what’s the excuse? Tories, Reform, Brexit, lazy workers, low productivity. Never the EU, never devolution, never net zero policy, never lack of investment, never the debt to financial markets and interest paid. Never capitalism.
No to NATO/EU war!
Can we be sure any longer the Ukraine war will stay in Ukraine? That’s the question warmongers – civilian and military – want us to fret about, talking about preparation for escalation…
No to NATO/EU War
No to NATO/EU War

The government talks peace but can’t keep away from its drive to war. Starmer wants to support Ukraine and now to become involved in the Pacific too.
The ruling class uses war overseas to divert from its problems at home. But the British working class can best act as force for peace by calling for an end to foreign adventures and interference.
Come and discuss. All welcome. Free entry.
Spreading war, not peace
11 August 2025
The Labour government has spread its talk of war to the Pacific, against China in particular. This is a dangerous development.
Ukraine – plain talking from RMT
11 August 2025
In contrast to the Labour government, the RMT union sees the folly in backing Ukraine against Russia. It says that won’t lead to peace.
The drive to war accelerates
1 July 2025
The decision to buy F-35A aircraft, armed with nuclear weapons under US control, brings us closer to war.
Keir Starmer is endangering Britain
Keir Starmer and his government do not defend Britain. They do not act in our interests but cynically pretend that they do…
US Imperialism: British bases used
Whatever the prime minister is saying about caution, President Trump is already using British bases to further warmaking in the Middle East.
NATO heads to war footing
Aggressive new NATO head Mark Rutte of the Netherlands has stated that NATO should “shift to a wartime mindset and turbocharge defence production”.
Defence – an alternative view
25 June 2025
An alternative defence review challenges assumptions about the necessity of increasing militarisation. Jobs in defence are not the answer to industrial decline.
Back off out of the Middle East!
British involvement in overseas adventures should be a thing of the past. It has brought conflict, not peace. And now British armed forces are to be used against Iran.
