DIANE ABBOTT explodes the anti-migrant myths perpetrated by cynical politicians and an irresponsible mass media

OCCASIONALLY an editor has to break bad news, and the bad news is that your weekend Morning Star will rise in price from next weekend by 10p, to £1.80, while the price of the online edition will rise for the first time since its launch seven years ago, by 10 per cent from May 6 (online subscribers will be written to directly before this happens).
We’re well aware that costs have risen steeply for readers through the inflationary crisis of the last couple of years, driven above all by corporate profiteering: and that slowing inflation doesn’t mean prices are falling.
But if we’re all feeling the hit, so is your paper — our own costs haven risen too, for paper, printing, distribution and wages.
