Alan Hardman was the first printer of the Militant (the Socialist’s predecessor) 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.
