Morning Star - Daily Newspaper of the Left

The Morning Star occupies a unique place in the history of British and world politics in the 20th and 21st centuries.

Founded on January 1, 1930, it is still the only English-language socialist daily newspaper published in the world.

It is run by a Cooperative Society, the Peoples Press Printing Society. It is supported by the STUC and all major unions. Anyone can become a shareholder for £5. The current policy of the Society is that the columns of the paper be open to all on the Left and that the paper’s editorial line be based on Britain’s Road to Socialism.

"In many ways, the struggle for socialism has become more complex and, in response, the paper has cast its net wide. As a forum for debate in the left, it has no parallel, as a voice for the working class it has no peer.

Be it on environmental issues, human rights, trade union struggles, national or international politics, the Morning Star is there to inform, to publicise and to advocate."

In Scotland the Scottish Morning Star Campaign Committee works to build circulations and support. It includes representatives of the major unions and organises regular conferences and meetings.
