WE ARE determined to maintain a fortnightly paper, we think it is most suited to reporting and analysing events in the class struggle internationally and in Britain. We want to improve it and aim to restore it to 12 and ultimately 16 pages as soon as possible. However this stretches our resources considerably, given the cost of newsprint printing, distribution and so on. While our sellers are pledging considerable amounts in their efforts to guarantee the fortnightly, we also need the help of our readers. We aim to raise £3,000 by the time of the Socialist Outlook Summer School at the end of August. If you think keeping and improving a fortnightly Socialict Outlook is worthwhile, you can help us by: • Paying the Solidarity price offl • Making a donation to our Fund Drive • Taking some copies of the paper to sell • Rushing cheques and postal orders made payable to "Socialist Outlook Supportors Fund" to: PO Box 1109, London N1 2UU. not the case elsewhere.
There is no political or religious divide in the unions. They are all part of a single federation. This makes it possible to talk of a unitary labour movement very different from the situation abroad.
It means that those already involved in the structures of the movement still largely define themselves within the framework of the politics of the Labour Party, especially the Labour left. To abandon this terrain to the right is a big mistake.
Despite Blair's stampede to the right, the Labour Party is still based on the organisations of the working class.
