The Communist Party of Great Britain (CPGB) was founded on 31 July 1920. Arthur McManus was elected as the CPGB's first chairman and Tom Bell and Harry Pollitt became the party's first full-time workers.
It later emerged that Vladimir Lenin had provided at least £55,000 (over £1 million in today's money) to help fund the CPGB.[1]
