THIS is the first of two Scotland editions of the Morning Star to coincide with Scottish Labour conference – following the success of our pilot Scotland edition back in November, which we published on the day of the anti-racism march in Glasgow.

The Morning Star is proud to be the paper of the labour movement – and indeed, now the preferred daily read of both British and Scottish Labour leaders.

Just this week, shopworkers’ union Usdaw became the tenth national trade union to join the paper’s management committee.
