Its edition on election day in 1974 showed hundreds of crosses on its front page to represent the miners who had died since nationalisation in 1947, accompanied by the message, "Before you use your cross, remember these crosses".<ref name="StrikeNotTheEnd25"/> Labour Weekly, the Labour Party's official newspaper, also supported the NUM strike and heavily criticised the government's policies. <ref>{{Cite news |last=Ross |first=Donald |date=25 January 1974 |title=Tories are spoiling for a showdown |work=Labour Weekly |pages=5}}</ref>
