The Social Justice Party (SJP) is a left-wing minor political party in the United Kingdom. It was launched in August 2023 at a conference in Whitby, and was officially registered with the Electoral Commission on 2 February 2024.
Description
The party was established by former members of the Labour Party, who resigned in protest at what they saw as the party’s "increasingly right-wing agenda" under the leadership of Keir Starmer.
The SJP describes itself as a "democratic socialist and environmentalist party", which believes that "common ownership and the democratic control of services and industry is the foundation for the achievement of a society guaranteeing every citizen’s right to the necessities of health care, housing, education, leisure and personal freedom."
Representatives
The SJP gained its first councillor on North Yorkshire Council, when a councillor who had previously been a member of the Labour Party defected to the new party in February 2024.
The party has stated its intention to stand candidates along the Yorkshire coast at the next general election to challenge both Labour and the Conservatives.
On 23 March 2024, the party selected Asa Jones as its candidate for Scarborough and Whitby in the 2024 general election. He came seventh with 0.6% of the vote.
