- People's Press Printing Society
The People's Press Printing Society (PPPS) is a readers' co-operative to own and publish a left-wing, British, daily newspaper "Daily Worker", known as The Morning Star from 1966. It was established in 1945, with shares sold at £1.

Ownership of the "Daily Worker" was transferred from the Communist Party of Great Britain (CPGB) to the PPPS, with CPGB retaining editorial and political control of the paper until in 1951, the Daily Worker Co-operative Society was established to act as the nominal publishers of the paper.
