Just as the Chilcot inquiry eventually exposed government failings over the Iraq war, a full independent investigation into British complicity in Israeli war crimes has become inevitable — despite official obstruction, writes JEREMY CORBYN MP

The Congolese independence leader’s uncompromising speech about 80 years of European colonial brutality and injustice went round the world in 1960, and within months, he had been executed by Belgian and CIA-backed forces, writes KEITH BARLOW
From nuclear bomb storage in the 1950s to surveillance flights over Gaza today, the Cyprus base has enabled seven decades of machinations so heinous that Starmer once blurted out ‘we can’t tell the world’ what goes on there, writes NUVPREET KALRA
While politicians condemned fascist bombing of Spanish civilians in 1937, they ignored identical RAF tactics across the colonies. Today’s aerial warfare continues this pattern of applying different moral standards based on geography and race, write ROX MIDDLETON, LIAM SHAW and MIRIAM GAUNTLETT
Despite declining to show Kneecap’s set, the BBC broadcast Bob Vylan leading a ‘death to the IDF’ chant — and the resulting outrage has only amplified the very message the Establishment wanted silenced, writes LINDA PENTZ GUNTER
Israel’s genocide in Palestine and wars against its neighbours would be impossible without constant Western support — so we must amplify the brave voices demanding a halt, argues DR RAMZY BAROUD
AT 95, the Morning Star is still playing the role we have done since 1930 — providing a unique daily voice for peace and socialism amid the deafening clamour of the warmongering and propagandistic capitalist media.
Six days a week, we report on workers’ strikes and struggles, battles for social and climate justice, and in defence of democracy in the face of worsening repression.
We stand with disabled people battling vicious social security cuts, with campaigners jailed for peaceful direct action, for a welfare state not a warfare state.
We bring high-quality analysis of political and economic developments in Britain and globally, and perspectives on working-class culture and sport found in no other publication.
Our wide range of contributors from multiple left parties and none, trade unions and campaigns reflect opinion across the left.
Support the newspaper
Our printed paper is available nationally through shops or home delivery, and distributed regularly at labour movement conferences, demonstrations and picket lines.
You can read our stories on this recently-refreshed website, and PDF edition on your computer or phone, pick up our new Left on Record interview series on our YouTube channel and increasing video footage reportage on strikes or protests.
So the Morning Star is always changing – but it always stays true to its founding mission.
We’ve made it this far, though steep inflation since the Covid pandemic has made it ever more difficult, with the cost of staffing and producing a daily media platform far higher than it was even just a few years ago.
As ever, we need your help to survive and grow.
Donate to the appeal
We have developed a comprehensive 5-year plan to take us to our 100th anniversary in 2030.
In this we have outlined the tasks ahead of us and what we must do to cement our status as the media news hub of the left.
There is much work to be done and we face mounting challenges to get us there.
A major task is to redouble our fundraising efforts over the next five years, as this development work will require significant investment.
Help us overcome these challenges, keep improving our product and reaching new markets by making a donation to our 95th anniversary £95,000 appeal.
If you think the Morning Star is an essential voice on the left, help us to reach our hundredth birthday by donating today.
