May 2026 marks a century since the 1926 general strike, one of the most important and explosive events in the history of the working class in Britain. Celebrate by backing the Socialist.
In recent years, there have been strike waves, marathon walkouts like the Birmingham bin workers, and picket lines up and down the country every week. And every week we feature them in the Socialist.
We put forward a socialist alternative to the capitalist chaos of war, cost-of-living struggles, and the crisis of working-class political representation.
It’s clear that the rest of the media does not do this, either repeating misinformation or only putting forward the bosses’ side. We need organised workers to support the alternative – the Socialist.
Help us get that message out there and continue to report and support workers in struggle by backing the paper that backs the working class.
