The United Socialist Party is a British political organisation based in Liverpool. It was formed by a number of former Liverpool Dockers who had been active in the strike of the 1990s. Other leftist groups such as the Revolutionary Democratic Group and the International Socialist League became involved although the party has experienced ideological and organisational conflicts between those seeking a more left wing version of the British Labour Party and those aiming to found a multi-tendency revolutionary party.

“Last night, party at Lansdowne-House. Tonight, party at Lady Charlotte Greville’s—deplorable waste of time, and something of temper. Nothing imparted—nothing acquired—talking without ideas—if any thing like thought in my mind, it was not on the subjects on which we were gabbling. Heigho!—and in this way half London pass what is called life.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
