Starmer is a tried and tested part of the capitalist state which oppresses the working class for every moment of every day. In fact, the local elections are taking place at a time when prices are rocketing upwards, and wages are being cut by the day, as the world capitalist economy crashes. Crisis-ridden capitalism cannot deliver any concessions in terms of jobs, wages, housing and healthcare for the working class. The working class in the UK has already made its mind up that it can, and must, fight for its rights, its children and its future. The working class must force the trade unions to win a sliding scale of wages so that wages automatically keep pace with inflation!
