Time for a new mass workers' party
The Socialist Party is the British section of the Committee for a Workers' International (CWI), which is organised in 33 countries around the globe. Click here for our national website This local website is designed to provide information on campaigns in the Weald of Kent and Sussex, as well as some of the most significant national and international campaigns that have an impact on the lives of local people. .
Members of the Socialist Party are active in running regular stalls and meetings in Tunbridge Wells and Hastings. Our Saturday paper sales are currently at 2.30 to 4.30 in Tunbridge Wells every week, with sales in Hastings and Tonbridge less frequently (see links page for maps). Several members are also fighting within their trade unions against the neo-liberal diet of cuts and privatisation. See below for recent campaigns and some local issues.
