Morning Star

Morning Star

The Morning Star is a left-wing British daily newspaper with a focus on social, political and trade union issues.

The paper was founded in 1930 as the Daily Worker by the Communist Party of Great Britain (CPGB). In 1945, ownership was transferred from the CPGB to an independent readers' co-operative, and it remains wholly owned by its readers. The Daily Worker was renamed the Morning Star in 1966. The paper describes its editorial stance as in line with Britain's Road to Socialism, the programme of the CPGB.

Document:Being anti-war does not make us apologists for 'the enemy' or anyone else	Article	NATO Vladimir Putin Boris Johnson Stop the War Coalition Keir Starmer McCarthyism 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine	28 February 2022	Lindsey German	I am proud to be an anti-war campaigner and I know there are many like me. I note that anti-war protesters in Russia are being lauded in the British media. I also support them and send them my full solidarity. The irony is that Putin will see them as the enemy within — just as our government (and loyal opposition) treats us.

Document:Whatever happened to ‘due process’?	Article	"Antisemitism" Labour Party Jeremy Corbyn Keir Starmer Authoritarianism Governance and Legal Unit	21 November 2020	Hilary Wise	Starmer’s reaction suggests he will continue to pursue a course which he somehow sees as politically expedient. History tells us it risks leading the party into the most dangerous kind of authoritarianism.
