THE Scottish Socialist League was set up in March of this year by socialists who had been expelled from the Scottish Labour Party by its reformist leadership. It was founded as a revolutionary Marxist organisation committed to fight for the creation of a united all-British revolutionary party and the unification of those organisations of the far left in Britain divided by questions of tactics rather than principle.

The SSL welcomes the setting up of Socialist Challenge as a step on the road to creating a class struggle opposition to the Labour Government and its anti-working class policies.

We will be submitting regular coverage of developments in Scotland, from industrial struggles to the rise of Scottish nationalism, the political intervention of our organisation.
