The current issue of the Weekly Worker, paper of the CPGB, features reports on several left conferences which have taken place recently:

Rightist politics and wishful thinking
The Socialist Party-sponsored Campaign for a New Workers’ Party is just about treading water, writes Peter Manson. But that does not stop the SP from claiming that the fight for a new Labour Party is making great strides forward

Time for a radical rethink
CPGB comrades attended the June 26-29 Permanent Revolution school. A good event, but there are some important questions for the comrades to face up to, reckons Mark Fischer

Licence to liquidate
A day school on building broad parties organised by Socialist Resistance provided little in the way of direction, writes James Turley. But the International Socialist Group’s right trajectory is unmistakeable

‘Regroupment’ or rebranding
The International Socialist Group is calling for the establishment of a ‘new revolutionary organisation’ limited to its co-thinkers. Mike Macnair looks at the basis for this new sect

Ivan the terrible
Lawrence Parker discerns a threat that could further dissipate the CPB’s fading influence

No alternative for workers
As the Left List gives its Respect rump a grandiose new name, Jim Moody talks to some of the ‘unity’ coalition’s disgruntled former councillors

No more physical attacks
A Left Alternative member appeals to his comrades for solidarity

Space to breathe
The rank and file needs to think before it can organise, writes Alan Stevens
