The Socialist Labour Party (SLP) is a socialist political party in the United Kingdom. The party was established in 1996 and was led by Arthur Scargill, a former Labour Party member and the former leader of the National Union of Mineworkers. The party's name highlights its commitment to socialism and acknowledges Clause IV of the Labour Party's former constitution, as fundamental to the party's identity. As of 2024, it is led by Jim McDaid.
The SLP advocates economic localism, supported Britain's exit from the European Union and is in favour of reopening the mines.
According to accounts filed with the Electoral Commission for 2022, the Socialist Labour Party had 325 members.
