This is a review I have written of a book of articles and speeches by Pat Wall, the marxist MP in Bradford in the late 1980s. It's in the current issue of Socialism Today. The book is well worth buying and the magazine is worth subscribing to as well.

The Broxtowe Independents are unlikely to be the last socialists, trade unionists and community campaigners who believe a new alternative is needed to fight against cuts and for decent local services for all in the 2025 local elections. Could you help? Find out more at www.tusc.org.uk

Earlier this week, I joined comrades from the Socialist Party, along with Lynn Walsh's family + friends, to say goodbye to Lynn, a leading figure in the Militant/Socialist Party for over 50 years. As well as Mozart, Pink Floyd + Bob Marley, we heard James Connolly's We Only Want The Earth. RIP, Lynn

Forty years ago last week, the Tories vindictively increased the deduction from the benefits for the families and children of striking miners. Thirty of us 'occupied' the floor of the Commons. Tony Benn's diary records what happened next.
