It means cash

After last week's slow start, our June fund has begun to pick up speed this week with £95 received, taking our total to £140. However, we are halfway through the month, but have only a third of our target in hand.

With potentially very exciting developments on the British left over the coming months, it is vital that we use to the full our most important weapon in the fight for working class unity and a single revolutionary party - the Weekly Worker. And that means cash - we need the full £400 every month to meet our running costs.

Don't forget, next month sees the beginning of the holiday period, when our post is always a little disappointing. So let's try and build up a surplus in June in anticipation of the hard few weeks ahead.

Special thanks this week to DG for his £25 donation and to CM for the £20 cheque. Thanks also to comrades TF, LB and DS (£10 each) and DC (£5).
