Hugo Wils
Communist League Election Campaign candidate for Longsight
The march to another world war is a giant attack on the desire of working people to live in peace – and on our living standards, jobs and working conditions. Only the working class can prevent another global slaughter by taking political power into our own hands. These are the central issues, not media hype on the turmoil within and between Labour, Conservative, Reform, Greens and other capitalist parties.
