Labour’s new Treasury unit will ‘challenge unnecessary regulation’ by forcing nominally independent bodies like Ofwat to bend to business demands — exactly what Iain Anderson’s corporate clients wanted, writes SOLOMON HUGHES
DR DYLAN MURPHY looks at a Big Brother Watch report which exposes the government as an enabler of DWP secret spying on benefit claimants
The EU faces a critical choice: will it remain in the shadow of an increasingly unreliable US ally, or will it forge its own path in a multilateral world where co-operation with China is essential, asks MARC VANDEPITTE as leaders meet for the EU-China Summit
A lot of discussion about how the left should currently organise – including debate on whether the Green Party is a useful vehicle for advance – runs the risk of refusing to engage with or learn from the reasons the left was defeated previously, argues KEVIN OVENDEN
For Egypt trade trumps the Israeli genocide of the Palestinians, but how long can the country’s ‘misleaders’ – and others in the region – continue their indifference against the popular will of their own people, asks ROGER McKENZIE
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.
