From Palestine, to racism, to fiscal rules and migrant rights, DIANE ABBOTT surveys some of the main themes of Labour conference this week

THE Marx Memorial Library is the proud custodian of a complete archive of the Daily Worker / Morning Star newspaper dating back to the first issue in January 1930.
For decades copies of the paper have been carefully stowed away in our basement, bound in large volumes of three to four months and embossed with gold lettering.
This treasure trove is one of our most often used archives. Activists, students, family historians, authors and many more visit our reading room to look at this paper of record of the British labour movement.

From hunting rare pamphlets at book sales to online panels and courses on trade unionism and class politics, the MML continues connecting archive treasures with the movements fighting for a better world, writes director MEIRIAN JUMP

The time is now to start reimagining a bigger future for the library, writes MEIRIAN JUMP
