Paddy McGuffin turns his bilious wit on a procession of fools, liars, hypocrites and war criminals from David Cameron to the Queen in this collection of his best columns for the Morning Star, the daily socialist newspaper

In 1930 nine people gathered by candlelight in a freezing warehouse to try something that had never been done before: launch a socialist daily newspaper without wealthy backers, corporate advertisers or friends in high places. Today the paper they founded, the Morning Star, is still on Britain's newsstands despite being banned, boycotted, burned out and all but bankrupted. The paper's first editor, William Rust, tells the rollercoaster story of its early years - from the Great Depression to the end of World War II, via the Spanish Civil War, the Battle of Cable Street and enough brawls, bombs, crises and court cases to last several lifetimes. Newly reissued in an illustrated and annotated edition to mark the Morning Star's 80th anniversary.
