The Socialist Review is the monthly magazine of the Socialist Workers Party (UK). It is published, on paper, at the start of each month except August, and is also published online once a month.
The Socialist Review began its life in the 1950's as the magazine of the Socialist Review Group (SRG). The SRG became the International Socialists in 1962 and then in 1977 the SWP, continuing to run the magazine through both transitions.
In 2003, the selling of the SWP's Printing Press, for which they give the reason that it was outdated tecnology that was too expensive to replace, forced them to find new printers for the magazine, it is now printed by Warners Midlands plc . However this opened up the oppotunity of full colour throughout and of a more professional appearance generally. This has helped to further the push for wider readership particulary outside the ranks of the SWP.
The Magazine was edited by Lindsey German, who is convener of the Stop the War Coalition, till 2004 and is now edited by Peter Morgan .
