Rooney is a major internationally recognised author. Last year, her titles accounted for just over 10 percent of UK money spent on Faber books. That she can be targeted in this way shows that no one is safe. wsws.org/en/articles/2026/10…

The working class and youth must reject and oppose the insane imperialist militarism that is inciting global conflict and threatening humanity with a nuclear conflagration.

The Canary will be closed for the foreseeable future.
As of today (Monday 19 October), the Canary will be closed indefinitely.
After multiple attacks this year, from Lloyds debanking us to former employees spreading malicious lies on social media, the situation has become unsustainable, both financially and operationally.
After 11 years, we take this action with deep sadness and regret. The extent of the lies, defamation, and harassment by ex-staff - coupled with the constant attacks by the state and those who’d see us destroyed - has become too much.
However, it is not over. This week, we will publish what really happened at the Canary and push back against the vicious campaign against our team and us.
We may be down, but we’re not out yet.

The union’s strike manual explicitly instructs employees in other bargaining units—including adjuncts, building services, food service workers—to cross the picket lines under no-strike clauses in their contracts. “No one should say anything negative about this crossing,” it says.

The UAW election is over, but workers' fight against the union apparatus must continue. Fain's sellouts can only be prevented through the organization of rank-and-file committees at every workplace. Contact us to get involved. #Automotive #automobile wsws.org/en/articles/2026/10…

The administration is laying the basis for declaring the results of the November 3 election fraudulent, for throwing out ballots in states it does not control, and for treating any outcome it rejects as the product of “alien” voting. wsws.org/en/articles/2026/10…

Henri de Saint-Simon (1760) – Utopian socialist, “what interests him first, and above all other things, is the lot of the class that is the most numerous and most poor…To recognize the French Revolution as a class war …was, in the year 1802, a most pregnant discovery.” (Engels)

If this were happening in the streets of Moscow, Beijing or Tehran, there would be wall to wall, 24/7 news coverage, and the talking heads of the capitalist press would be calling for the leaders to step down. The media would pick a colour, and call it a "revolution."

The most significant fact about the UAW elections is that of 1.1 million eligible members "more than 90 percent of the membership stayed away" - After the UAW election debacle: We must build rank-and-file committees and take power on the shop floor!
