Improving

Ian Farrell reports on the Weekly Worker fighting fund

The Bank of England downgrades its growth estimates in the face of the global economic crisis. Official figures show a rise in unemployment. Yet New Labour employment minister Andrew Smith sums up the situation this way: “The labour market is clearly improving.”

With friends like these, the working class needs its own Party, a Communist Party, capable of fighting for a society fit for human beings to live in. The relentless struggle to reforge such a Party is the business of the Weekly Worker, which relies on a £400 a month fighting fund from its supporters. Special thanks to comrades BT, KA, TD and TR for their contributions to this week’s total of £55, bringing the November fund to £240.
