The criminal disaster of the Grenfell Tower fire has brought to the surface all the horror, injustice, and inequality of Tory Britain. All the anger and discontent within working class communities has now exploded into plain view, with a series of militant protests taking place in the last week.

The intention is to demonstrate that this government, despite lacking any social base, might still be of some use to its capitalist masters.
