This is from Dave Osler's blog . It's publication is is for information only and doesn't represent political support for the position of the opposition from the authors of Crisis and Revolt . Whatever one thinks of this new opposition, no socialist can welcome the present chronic dispersal of the British left into rival organisations, a topic to which we shall return soon.
Four members of the Socialist Workers’ Party have been expelled in the run up the that organisation’s conference next month, for reasons detailed here . Some of their co-thinkers have responded by forming an oppositional grouping. This is what they have to say for themselves:
There had been some discussion about whether to declare a faction or not. Some comrades, out of concern for how these matters had been dealt with previously, were in favour of doing so – but other comrades were worried that this might be premature or even disloyal. It is for having this discussion and sharing these concerns that the comrades have been expelled.
