- Stop press
The Socialist Workers Party is again trying to run from
debate by not accepting our motions to Respect conference
- ‘Is Respect
communistic?’
Anne Mc Shane reports from Respect Hackney's

Becker
Legalise all drugs
Carey Davies comments on the 'drugs scandal' surrounding
Tory leadership hopeful David Cameron

in their 'deal' with the government. Workers must fight
back, says Peter Manson

left
