The Socialist Labour Party (SLP) is a Socialist and Euroskeptic party in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.[2]

In 2004, five members of the SLP's National Executive Committee and the entire Executive Committee of the Yorkshire region were expelled.[3] These members would go on to found the Communist Party of Great Britain (Marxist–Leninist).

In 2022, Chris Williamson, the founder of the Resist Movement,[4] recommended members of Resist as well as readers of the Morning Star to join the SLP, viewing it as the "vanguard political party" Britain desperately needed.[5] The SLP considers itself to be a Marxist party.[6]
