The Communist Party of Great Britain (Marxist–Leninist) (CPGB-ML) is a right opportunist and revisionist political party in the United Kingdom. It was founded in 2004 after a split with the Socialist Labour Party, an effort led by Harpal Brar.[1]The party has upheld a deviationist line, supporting modern and historical revisionist and social-imperialist states such as the People's Republic of China,[2] upholding Russian imperialism and militarism,[3] and adopting chauvinistic stances on marginalized segments of the population, mainly the LGBTQ+ community.[4]

The CPGB-ML has a leading role in the international social-imperialist organization known as the World Anti-Imperialist Platform, alongside various other opportunist and anti-communist formations.
