A November 15 protest in Mexico – driven by a right-wing social-media operation – has been miscast as a mass uprising against President Sheinbaum. In reality, the march was small, elite-backed and part of a wider attempt to sow unrest, argues DAVID RABY
LAST weekend I had a wonderful and inspiring time as part of a movement that I love being part of. I attended three amazing events which together are an illustrative example of how although the work Labour does in Parliament is vital, we can’t build socialism just by our work in Parliament alone.
On Friday, I spoke in Trafalgar Square at the demonstration against Donald Trump’s policies and against Theresa May’s decision to roll out the red carpet for him. It was inspiring to see 250,000 people there, coming together to show support for a better world than the one offered by billionaire Trump’s promotion of sexism, racism and his allegiance to Wall Street and the top 1 per cent — rather than the 99 per cent to whom he pretends to be a friend.
This demonstration was huge, impassioned and inspiring. I quoted Martin Luther King, who said that “injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” We need movements tackling injustices everywhere, with the Labour Party being their ally in those battles.
