London

Wednesday 4 February 2026, 7.30 pm

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

Finance must become the servant of productive industry for the country and not an end in itself.

British workers have two choices: continue as we are, or strike out in a new direction.

Come and discuss our new pamphlet and the ideas it sets out. All welcome. Free entry.

No to NATO/EU War

London

Wednesday 15 October 2025, 7.30 pm

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

The government talks peace but can’t keep away from its drive to war. Starmer wants to support Ukraine and now to become involved in the Pacific too.

The ruling class uses war overseas to divert from its problems at home. But the British working class can best act as force for peace by calling for an end to foreign adventures and interference.

Come and discuss. All welcome. Free entry.

This meeting asserts the vital importance of industry, the basis of every advanced manufacturing nation, the core of British independence, the foundation of our sovereignty.

Across the country, thanks to the Scunthorpe workers’ heroic efforts, people are increasingly aware of steel’s crucial role in our industries and infrastructure. We need steel - the heart of our industry - for a secure future.

Come and discuss. All welcome. Free entry.

May Day 2025: Politics is not parliament: it’s on us, the working class

CPBML May Day Meetings
Thursday 1 May 2025 19:30
London

Thursday 1 May, 7.30pm

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

On May Day we take stock of Britain and the world. The priority for the British working class – all who live and work here – is Britain.

Capitalism outsources production and strips Britain of our national assets –  and unchecked it will drag us further into war and bring Britain to ruin.

Workers built our nation. We must rebuild Britain to meet our needs and cannot rely on politicians or parliament to do it for us.

Come to celebrate May Day and join the discussion.

All welcome. Free Entry.

Workers of all lands, unite!
Fight for independence!
No to war!

Our rulers have always followed the USA’s drive to war. But now it is Starmer leading calls for escalation of the war in Europe.

War isn’t in the interest of British workers, nor is membership of NATO. How can workers bring this message home to the new government?

Come and discuss. All welcome. Free entry.

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?

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

London

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.

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.
