Scottish Militant Labour

Scottish Militant Labour (SML) was a Trotskyist[1] political party operating in Scotland for most of the 1990s and was part of the Committee for a Workers' International.

Its best known member was Tommy Sheridan, although Alan McCombes played an important role behind the scenes.

As part of the SSA and SSP it changed its name to the International Socialist Movement.

A split occurred after years of debate centred on questions such as what the SSP should be, what the nature of a revolutionary party is and the relationship of the ISM to the CWI.

Tommy Sheridan was co-convenor of Solidarity (Scotland), and the International Socialists were a platform within it.
