#OnThisDay, 25th of November 2010, the United Left Alliance (ULA) was announced.
The alliance of the Socialist Party, Socialist Workers' Party, Workers and Unemployed Action Group (WUAG) and independent leftists contested the 2011 general election, winning five seats.
Disagreements between the parties resulted in first the WUAG and then the SP withdrawing, leaving the alliance essentially defunct by 2013.

Great to see that the very useful archive of The Worker, later Socialist Worker — the newspaper of the Socialist Workers’ Movement (SWM) and Socialist Workers’ Party (SWP) — has been further expanded.
It now includes scans of the first volume of the paper from 1972–1977, when it ceased publication during the period in which the SWM joined the Socialist Labour Party (SLP); and the second volume, which ran from 1980–1984.
The site is working towards adding the remaining issues from the 1980s, which would make it a near-complete archive of the paper from 1972–2018.
