Alan Hardman was the first printer of the Militant (the predecessor newspaper of Socialist – weekly of the Socialist Party England & Wales (CWI)) and produced hundreds of political cartoons for publication in our party publications. Sadly, Alan passed away in January (see ‘Obituary: Alan Hardman 1936-2024 Militant cartoonist and printer’). A book, ‘Need Not Greed’, has been published of his cartoons and artwork and is available at 1854.photo/SocParty. Linda Taaffe representing the Socialist Party spoke at the book launch in London on 17 October.
