Executive

The Communist Party's Executive Committee met in London over the weekend (Sunday 29 September 2024) to discuss domestic and international developments and the Party’s plans and priorities for work for the remainder of 2024.

The Political Report was delivered by Comrade Johnnie Hunter, the Party's Communications Director.

"The racially motivated rioting and violence of recent weeks must be a call to arms for the left, trade union and broad anti-racist movements, Johnnie Hunter told the Communist Party’s Political Committee yesterday evening (13 August 2024).

While noting that many of the convicted rioters have criminal records for assault, theft and looting, and some are members of racist and fascist organisations, he was clear that the riots "did not occur in a vacuum."

Communist Party General Secretary Robert Griffiths welcomed the results of last week’s English local elections which, he said, ‘handed a red to the Tories and a yellow card to Keir Starmer’s Labour Party’.

"Anybody who cares about local communities, public services, jobs and integrity in public life should look forward to the end of Tory rule at Westminster, too’, he added.
