Campaign for SLP democracy
Last weekend Socialist Labour’s Vauxhall branch hosted a meeting to campaign for democracy in the SLP. Following his attack on another London branch, Brent, Arthur Scargill had derecognised Vauxhall and effectively expelled all its members. Ian Driver, SLP candidate for Vauxhall, is still formally recognised by the SLP leadership. Nevertheless he continues to defend the Vauxhall branch against the witch hunt and has produced this open letter to SLP members asking for their support

In Peckham, south London both the Socialist Party and the Socialist Labour Party are standing against Labour’s Harriet Harman.

Lee-Anne Bates therefore spoke to SP candidate Joan Barker about the campaign
