New Statesman
The
New Statesman is a
United Kingdom weekly
socialist magazine. It was first published in
1913 as the newsletter of the
Fabian Society, originally edited by Clifford Sharp. Under the leadership of Kingsley Martin in
1931 it took over
The Nation, a rival and became known as the
New Statesman and Nation. It returned to the simpler form in
1964.
Today it carries columns from the likes of Mark Steel, Lauren Booth, and Ann Widdecombe. It is currently edited by Peter Wilby.
