SATURDAY August 1 2020 will mark 100 years since the foundation of the Communist Party. Undeterred by the restriction placed on political activity by the Covid-19 pandemic, the party invites readers of the Morning Star, supporters, trade union and women’s movement activists, to visit our website www.communistparty.org.uk/centenary.
