In this article we examine the strikes (minimum service levels) bill from five perspectives: its purpose, its form, its content, its compatibility with international law and its implications. From each viewpoint, the bill is shown to be an extreme and unjustifiable attack on working people. The bill is also viewed in the context of government attacks on economic and political freedoms more widely.

People migrate largely within their own country. When they are forced to migrate abroad, it is because the situation in their own country leaves them with little alternative, usually because of war, famine or persecution.

2020 was the year of the pandemic; 2021 was the year of the (weak) recovery; 2022 was the year of inflation. Spiralling inflation has been driven by energy companies accumulating record profits, not by ‘excessive’ wage increases. But in 2023 there are no signs of any change in the relentless drive of central banks’ ‘shock therapy’ on economies, or of any governments cooperating globally to end the cost of living crisis and avoid a new slump.

In 2022, the Marx Memorial Library (MML) received a £93,710 grant from the National Lottery Heritage Fund (NLHF) for the ‘Marx Memorial Library at 90: Enduring and Engaging’ project. A key goal of the work is to explore broader engagement with our archives, particularly among young people, those who live and work locally, and school pupils. Here, Stevie Russell, NLHF project volunteer, describes her work with the archives.

Analysing the significance of China’s revolution and subsequent development has often been bedevilled by efforts to see the country exclusively through the lens of concepts developed in Europe many years ago. The experience of the Communist Party of China has reflected the integration of Marxism with indigenous philosophical traditions and its practice does not conform to classical ideas of either capitalism or socialism. It needs to be understood through a different lens.
