It’s been quite the week for Piers Morgan. On 11 December, the Daily Mail published an article in which the opinionated TV host expressed an interest in becoming Donald Trump’s chief of staff:

Meanwhile, with so many of Trump’s former staff members now facing criminal proceedings, the prospect of Morgan facing the same fate seemed to appeal to a lot of people:

We know everyone is suffering under the Tories - but the Canary is a vital weapon in our fight back, and we need your support

The Canary Workers’ Co-op knows life is hard. The Tories are waging a class war against us we’re all having to fight. But like trade unions and community organising, truly independent working-class media is a vital weapon in our armoury.

The Canary doesn’t have the budget of the corporate media. In fact, our income is over 1,000 times less than the Guardian’s. What we do have is a radical agenda that disrupts power and amplifies marginalised communities. But we can only do this with our readers’ support.

So please, help us continue to spread messages of resistance and hope. Even the smallest donation would mean the world to us.
