The English Socialist Party was formed on May 1st 2002 to fight for a Socialist England.

Unlike New Labour and the Tories, English Socialist Party understands that:
It is capitalism, not the complexion of governments, which is responsible for the economic and social devastation which results in: the destruction of basic and manufacturing industries, mass unemployment, homelessness, hopelessness, helplessness and despair. Only by dealing with the root cause – capitalism itself, can this devastation be stopped and a long-term alternative constructed.

Tony Blair’s New Labour has ditched any pretence of being a Socialist party. They openly support the free market. They oppose re-nationalisation of the services and utilities privatised by the Tories. They wine and dine same bosses who are responsible for the misery of nineties and twenties Britain. They refuse to repeal the anti-trade union laws that make it so much more difficult for us to fight job cuts or improve our wages and conditions. They accept the evil of permanent mass unemployment. Locally, they refuse to fight central government budget capping and vote for cuts, year after year.

New Labour has embraced capitalism at a time when its evils have never been more obvious – at a time when the need for Socialism has never been more urgent.
