The Socialist
Labour Party was launched at its first congress on 1 May 1996. It was
initiated by leading trade unionists and campaign activists following the
final abandonment by Tony Blair's New Labour of any commitment to
progressive change for socialism in Britain. However, the new Party
represents far more than just a reaction to developments in the Labour
Party. The SLP aims to build on the heritage of all the movements of
resistance to the free - market offensive in Britain over the past two
decades. In particular, it is the political heir of the year-long miner's
strike of 1984-5 and the tremendous movement of solidarity it inspired in
all sections of British society.
