THE 75th issue of Jewish Socialist has arrived from the printers. All the usual cliches apply.
The smell of the ink, the feel of the paper, the frisson at opening the first copies after weeks of work are just as powerful as they were when we started producing it 36 years ago, but this one feels like a landmark because of the pandemic and the bitterly polarised political landscape into which it has been born.
