The Socialist Workers Party (SWP) is the contemporary name for the Trotskyist political party founded as the Socialist Review Group in 1950 and known as the International Socialists (IS) from 1962 to 1977. The IS/SWP was of significant interest to the policing and MI5 apparatus. It was spied on by at least 35 SDS undercovers, listed below, deployed at branch and district level and in the party’s headquarters.
From the early 1970s, IS was the biggest of the ‘small’ left-wing parties operating in Britain, with a membership of more than 3,000.
It was involved with a huge number of left-wing campaigns and groups, student protests and occupations. Groups in which it had an influential presence included the Vietnam Solidarity Campaign (VSC)Vietnam Solidarity Campaign (VSC)The Vietnam Solidarity Campaign (VSC) was formed in 1966 as a collaboration between the International Marxist Group and the Bertrand Russell Peace Foundation. Though dominated by Trotskyists, the VSC was able to forge broad coalitions across the left through its use of ad-hoc committees to plan specific actions. The VSC’s campaigning activities went into sharp decline in 1969, ceasing to function from October that year. Full page: Vietnam Solidarity Campaign (VSC) and, in the 1950s, the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND).Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND)The Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament is a mass organisation founded in 1957 that advocates for unilateral nuclear disarmament. In the early 1980s, it had around 100,000 members and attracted 250,000 people to its marches. Despite Special Branch and MI5 acknowledging that it was not a subversive organisation, it was spied on by both, including SDS undercovers HN65 'John Kerry' and HN88 'Timothy Spence' in the 1980s.
In the late 1970s, the SWP took a leading role in anti-fascist organising. It was the main organisation behind the Anti-Nazi League and played a key part in Rock Against Racism. SWP publications Women’s Voice and Flame addressed feminist and black workers’ issues.
The IS/SWP was involved in various industrial disputes and campaigns around employment, including the 1972 Right to Work march, building strikes, and other key flashpoints for labour militancy. Through the IS/SWP’s close connections to workplace organising, the SDS could use the organisation as a proxy for gathering intelligence on union membership and militancy.
MI5 actively sought this information from the SDS, which is likely to have contributed to the blacklisting – so-called ‘vetting’ – that prevented politically active people securing employment in both the private and public sectors.
In 1979, Blair Peach was killed by police officers at a counter-fascist protest in Southall, west London. The justice campaign for Blair Peach was led by the SWP and his partner Celia Stubbs, a core participant in the Inquiry.
The SWP newspaper, Socialist Worker, was foundational to its organising model. It was a source of funds and a means of generating engagement and recruiting new members. However, undercover officers were able to access membership information by taking on the role of ‘paper organiser’ in local branches. In the 1970s and 1980s newspaper sales became a flashpoint as they were often carried out in competition with those selling fascist newspapers.
The following SDS undercovers spied on the IS/SWP. The dates in brackets indicate officers’ overall deployments, not just their time infilitrating the IS/SWP.
