Book now for Summer Camp

The 2005 Socialist Party summer camp is only weeks away - it takes place each year on the summer bank holiday, 26 - 29 August 2005. Political sessions are being prepared, marquees and equipment are booked and the crèche and catering plans are well underway. If you still have not booked a place then you need to contact Bill or Jane as soon as possible.

The meetings organised are extremely important for socialists at the present time and there will be plenty of time for discussion.

Our excellent crèche allows parents to attend the meetings while activities such as mountain biking and archery are provided for older children (and adults!).

Socialist Party members and supporters from different areas of the country and from our sister parties in Europe will be coming along.

If you are still undecided then read last year's comments from satisfied campers!

Anyone who does not want to or are not able to camp can come for a day for just £10.

Coronavirus crisis - Finance appeal

The coronavirus crisis has laid bare the class character of society in numerous ways. It is making clear to many that it is the working class that keeps society running, not the CEOs of major corporations.

The results of austerity have been graphically demonstrated as public services strain to cope with the crisis.

The government has now ripped up its 'austerity' mantra and turned to policies that not long ago were denounced as socialist. But after the corona crisis, it will try to make the working class pay for it, by trying to claw back what has been given.

The Socialist Party's material is more vital than ever, so we can continue to report from workers who are fighting for better health and safety measures, against layoffs, for adequate staffing levels, etc.
Our 'fighting coronavirus workers' charter', outlines a programme to combat the virus and protect workers' living conditions.
When the health crisis subsides, we must be ready for the stormy events ahead and the need to arm workers' movements with a socialist programme - one which puts the health and needs of humanity before the profits of a few.
