Very successful party stall in Cambridge this morning, lots of encouraging conversations were had. Good interest in our pamphlet on Reform UK!

Keep an eye out for the YCL stall on Mill Road tomorrow!

Cambridge - your generosity never ceases to amaze!

We collected 10 bags of groceries at our collection for the foodbank on Saturday.

As our leaflet says: We completely reject the cynical conclusion that "human beings are fundamentally selfish".

What more proof do you need?

I'm running for Chair in the upcoming Unite Cambridge Engineering Branch elections as part of the Unite and Organise Engineering slate.

We need a return to rank and file organising in our unions ✊

This is an excellent letter in the Morning Star. In the wake of Labour ploughing ahead with plans for privatisation that wouldn't be out of place in a Tory manifesto, Peter makes a lot of sense.

We need to see more of this.

This has been removed now but its simply incredible that this got published in the first place.

A certain German said, "Germany should concentrate all of its strength on marking out a way of life for our people through the allocation of adequate Lebensraum for the next one hundred years."

I think it's incredible that this many people still have faith in government petitions and an electoral system that only ever enables the worst agents of capital.

Yet those who live outside Cambridge and have to drive in to work overwhelmingly do not want this because they know exactly what problems it will cause. They often have no choice as public transport is lacking.

Come back to me when you can address the arguments here and in my blog post.
