"Will you do this great thing for Labour".....
"I think you will !"

Ernest Bevin

This statement and pictures relate to the relaunch of the Daily Herald on 17th March 1930.
As part of the relaunch the TUC agreed to hand over 51% of shares to Odhams, but kept the remaining 49%
The  relaunch was a huge success as it built on the Labour Party supporters network "Daily Herald Helpers" who encouraged working people to buy the paper, which continued to push a primarily Labour party line. By 1933 the Daily Herald became the world's best-selling daily newspaper, with certified net sales of 2 million.

Daily Herald Newspaper

Daily Herald started as a life as a paper of the London print workers strike in 1911, it was revived by George Lansbury as a Labour Party newspaper and later by the TUC

 

A letter to the Daily Worker (A. Fitter ?? ) Leamington Daily Worker 10th May 1940 gives somer idea how the Daily Herald popularity spread in the early days

"In 1915 I was working on engines for the first tanks in Coventry, I was the only (Daily) Herald reader in the canteen, I was a target for cold potatoes and other scraps, then I bought two copies leaving one on the table or in the bus or train and at the end of the year there were some dozens of copies being read in the canteen passed around and looked at by ten times as many men. That experience is of value today. The more the millionaire press raves against the Daily worker the keener readers be to secure a copy!
