The "Economic and Philosophic Science Review" ("EPSR") is a British socialist newspaper founded by Royston Bull, formerly a leading member of the Workers Revolutionary Party and industrial correspondent for The Scotsman newspaper.
Bull split from the WRP in 1979 and with a small number of his supporters he founded the Workers Party. This group, upon formally repudiating Trotskyism, renamed themselves the International Leninist Workers Party. The "Economic and Philosophical Science Review" was their weekly newspaper. The ILWP was avowedly Marxist-Leninist and was supportive of the USSR but critical of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union's revisionism which they claimed was the result of Stalin's political errors.
They were also very strongy supportive of the Irish Republican Army and many Third World national liberation movements.
With the foundation of the Socialist Labour Party by the leader of the National Union of Mineworkers, Arthur Scargill in 1996, the ILWP dissolved itself into the SLP where they operated as a faction around their paper, the EPSR. Royston Bull was elected Vice-President of the SLP in 1998, but was then almost immediately expelled (or 'voided') from party membership. Arthur Scargill, who had supported Bull's candidacy, used it to strengthen his position within the SLP. The election caused a significant rift within the SLP, with one member, Brian Heron, calling Bull's election "a disaster". Whilst some of Bull's supporters stayed within the SLP, most left to rejoin Bull and organised themeselves as "EPSR supporters."
Although Royston Bull died aged 69 on the 2nd of January 2005, the EPSR continues to be published fortnightly, by its supporters.
