RON BROWN makes the case for the Morning Star as the daily paper of all trade unionists, and especially education workers who have seen it cover their issues and their actions, day in, day out
AS THE Morning Star reminded us in its excellent edition for International Women’s Day (March 8), women all over the world want to live without fear of sex-based violence, poverty, internal displacement, forced migration, economic hardship, misogyny and harassment.

There has been a small victory in the High Court with its ruling that the Metropolitan Police acted illegally in its response to the vigil for Sarah Everard but sexism, misogyny and racism are rooted in the Met and in other forces and will continue to be so unless there is a complete cultural shift.
