More partisan flummery

This magazine doesn’t hide its lockstep ideological alignment with the ruling left. Intellectually vitiated yet potentially edifying — at least insofar as it illuminates the elitist ideology that dominates discourse today. Best read alongside more marginalised, countervailing voices from the political centre and right for balance. Otherwise, there is little to recommend here: Bog-standard misinformation and the earnest spin of tired agitprop delivered with dismissive parochialism.

Chefs Kiss

I’ve never heard of Prospect Magazine in my puff. Better late than never. The writing is a joy.

Even better than the magazine

I loved the magazine but always felt pressure to read cover to cover before the next issue. I am loving the articles dropping regularly onto my phone. There are very few authors I haven’t enjoyed, and I love the mix of thought provoking and more general content.

On point

This magazine has really accurate factual analysis and I enjoy its point of view. Allows me to think about applying UK lessons locally.
