Net migration reaches record levels, rising from 107,000 in 1997 to a record 745,000 at the end of 2022. The government blusters, but is determined to increase it yet further. How should we respond?

Thursday 22 June 2023, 7.30pm

How to protect the environment (and why the EU makes things worse)

Tuesday 3 March 2020 19:30 to 21:00

London, Tuesday 3 March 2020, 7.30 pm

A CPBML public meeting in the Bertrand Russell Room, Conway Hall, Red Lion Square, London WC1R 4RL.  

We are often told we must stay in the EU “to protect our environmental rights”. And yet we constantly read that the environment has grown worse over the past few decades – when Britain was a member of the EU. Both refrains cannot be right. Come and hear an independent approach to the environment in a lively talk – and then join in the discussion. Free entry.

LONDON Tuesday 19 November, 7.30 pm

Wednesday 19 June, 7.30 pm

Bertrand Russell Room, Conway Hall, Red Lion Square, London WC1R 4RL

Membership of the EU has deformed the economy. Britain is over-reliant on imports. Investment in education is reduced while skilled workers are poached from other countries.

Wednesday 1 May 2019 19:30

Wednesday 1 May, 7.30 pm

Brockway Room, Conway Hall, Red Lion Square, London WC1R 4RL

Parliament has set its face against the people. But up and down the country ordinary people are doing it for themselves and taking a range of actions to demand that our democratic decision is honoured. On International Workers Day, the CPBML invites you to discuss the way forward. The people of Britain must take responsibility for Brexit: we can rely on no one else.

Bertrand Russell Room, Conway Hall, Red Lion Square, London WC1R 4RL

CPBML Public Meeting, Tuesday 17 July, 7.30 pm [NB: change of date]

Brockway Room, Conway Hall, Red Lion Square, London WC1R 4RL

Brexit is in danger. Across the establishment, in the Commons and the Lords, those who wish to defy the democratic mandate of the EU referendum are turning from obstruction to sabotage. They will do anything to keep Britain in the EU. And they must be stopped. Come and discuss. All welcome.

Brockway Room, Conway Hall, Red Lion Square, London WC1R 4RL

During the referendum campaign anyone who mentioned the development of a European army and a common defence policy was dismissed by the establishment as a fantasist. Now everything is out in the open – and it's taking shape in front of our very eyes. Come and discuss. All welcome.

House the People

Thursday 28 September 2017 19:30

CPBML Public Meeting, Thursday 28 September, 7.30pm

Brockway Room, Conway Hall, Red Lion Square, London WC1R 4RL

Housing in Britain is broken. Instead of filling a need, it is an investment from which huge profits can be made by taking advantage of the acute rise in demand. Meanwhile, council housing is left to rot – with deadly consequences. Come and discuss. All welcome.

For an independent and self-reliant Britain

Thursday 1 June 2017 19:30

CPBML Public Meeting, Thursday 1 June, 7.30pm

Brockway Room, Conway Hall, Red Lion Square, London WC1R 4RL

Since Article 50 was invoked it is even clearer that there are only two possible outcomes. Britain must strike out for self-reliance, real independence, real sovereignty, or be dragged back into the EU’s coercive rule. What does this mean for us? Come and discuss. All welcome.

CPBML Public Meeting, Thursday 17 November, 7.30pm

Brockway Room, Conway Hall, Red Lion Square, London WC1R 4RL

After the Vote: What Next?

Thursday 15 September 2016 19:30

CPBML Public Meeting, Thursday 15 September, 7.30pm

Brockway Room, Conway Hall, Red Lion Square, London WC1R 4RL

We’ve given the EU its marching orders. Now we need to take the national debate on the future of Britain that flared into life during the referendum and transform it into a strategy for the working class, a strategy for a future for Britain. All welcome.
