The Tribune's triumphant return in Liverpool
The relaunch of famous socialist publication the Tribune, now a high-end magazine, shows the battle for ideas is far from over, reports ADRIAN WEIR
Aneurin ‘Nye’ Bevan was a great supporter of the Tribune for most of its early years and sat on its board

After a seven-month absence left-wing magazine Tribune was relaunched in Liverpool this week at two packed meetings, at The World Transformed and at the Labour Party conference.

The panel at the Labour Party launch included Jon Trickett MP, Class think tank director and Labour PPC for Chingford & Woodford Green, Faiza Shaheen, Tribune associate editor and Morning Star contributor Marcus Barnett and Unite assistant chief of staff Adrian Weir.

In welcoming Tribune’s reappearance, the Morning Star is pleased to publish Adrian Weir’s contribution to the relaunch.
