TheMovement for Socialism is an occasional grouping of socialists in the United Kingdom. It originated as one half of the major split in theWorkers Revolutionary Party of 1985. Initially, both halves continued under the WRP name and both published a newspaper namedThe News Line, originally namedWorkers Press.
The group was initially led byCliff Slaughter andMichael Banda,[1] but Banda left in 1986 to form the Communist Forum.[2] A further split occurred when the group's Bolshevik Faction left to form the International Socialist League in 1988. Following the transformation of the remaining group into Movement for Socialism, another split occurred with the departure of a group of supporters of theWorkers International to Rebuild the Fourth International.
