Organ of the International Marxist Group and a continuation of Red Weekly. Eventually became/was replaced by Socialist Action in March 1983 after the organisation entered the Labour Party. The name chages tended to reflect changes in the organisation’s oerientation and the ascendancy of different factions within the organisation, which eventually disintegrated after the British Miners’ Strike 1984-85 and, as far as we can ascertain, the paper ceased publication during the 1990s.
The issues presented below come from the Red Mole Rising project in the UK. They have kindly granted the MIA permission to copy the files and present them here. Not all issues of Socialist Challenge have been digitized by Red Mole Rising because they were unavailable at the time of digitization. As the missing issues are found, they will be added at their web site and then copied here.
