Winston S. Churchill [Edited by]

(Book #ID 97433)

Published by His Majesty's Stationery Office, London Monday, May 10th, 1926. 1926.

Original Broadsheet newspaper, 4 pages. This is an original newspaper and not a replica edition. The British Gazette was a short-lived British newspaper published by the Government during the General Strike of 1926. One of the first groups of workers called out by the Trades Union Congress when the general strike began on 3 May were the printers, and consequently most newspapers appeared only in very brief and truncated form. The Government therefore decided to replace them with an official publication which was printed on the presses of The Morning Post, a right-wing but traditionalist paper which later merged with The Daily Telegraph. Winston Churchill, then Chancellor of the Exchequer but formerly a journalist, took the initiative and guided the British Gazette's editorial line with the paper largely produced by the Organisation for the Maintenance of Supplies. The Gazette (No. 1) first appeared on the morning of 5 May, 1926. It was highly patriotic and condemnatory of the strikers, becoming a very effective means of propaganda for the government. The TUC produced its own paper, the British Worker (subtitled Official Strike News Edition) to attempt to counter it. The Gazette easily outsold its rival, with circulation rising from more than 200,000 copies for the first issue to more than 2,000,000. From issue 4, the masthead contained the invitation "Please pass on this copy or display it". The Gazette ran to only eight editions before the strike collapsed; the last edition had the headline "General Strike Off". Tanning to the edges and folded across the centre. Member of the P.B.F.A.
