The Morning Star keeps shining – but a price rise can't be helped in the New Year
The cover price will rise to match increasing energy and printing costs, but the only daily socialist newspaper in the English language will continue to spread the socialist message as the current strike wave deepens, writes editor BEN CHACKO

AS WE approach 2023, the Morning Star is still alive and kicking – just as well given the surge in industrial action of 2022 and the increasingly hysterical propaganda being deployed by ministers and mainstream media pundits against nurses, ambulance workers, posties, railway workers and many more.

But as assistant business manager Bernadette Keaveney warned at the beginning of the month, from next week (Tuesday January 3, to be precise) we will be putting up the price of your daily paper to £1.30 and of the weekend paper to £1.70.

This is not a decision we have taken lightly.
