The Workers Party welcomes the emergence of every campaign which genuinely seeks to stand up for working class interests. The five demands of Enough is Enough mirror closely those commitments we made in our Ten Point Programme when we launched the Workers Party of Britain in 2019.

Members Voice: Don’t Pay UK smeared me as an anti-semite!

ASLEF and the fight for political independence
