LOTS of newspapers claim to report on politics “without fear or favour”.
Most, however, will try and cut the Government a bit of slack, or give them a bit of favourable coverage from time to time, in the name of maintaining good relations with No 10. Not us.
Downing Street are not interested in being our friends, and we’re not interested in being theirs. We’re only here to give you the straight, unvarnished truth about what’s really going on in Westminster.
Whether it's using your taxes to fly spy planes over Gaza or sneakily imposing levies on your energy bills to pay for new nuclear power plants in England, The National reports on Westminster, warts and all, to paraphrase one of its more notorious former denizens.
While other papers were cosying up to Labour during the election to try and get in with the key movers and shakers before Keir Starmer walked into power, we were pointing out that their sums didn’t add up and calling out their outrageous pandering to the far-right.
Unlike the others, we don’t promise you an insider view of the powers that be. We’re outsiders and proud of it. If that means upsetting the Westminster chumocracy, then so be it.
We’re in Westminster to hold power to account and give you the facts, whether Starmer likes it or not.
So we can keep on being your voice, eyes and ears in Westminster, we need your help.
Happily, that is now cheaper than ever with our new subscription deal. Sign up now and get a whole year’s worth of the ugly truth about Westminster – from exclusive stories, piercing analysis and top commentary – for just £20.
But don’t wait. This offer ends at 23.59pm on Friday. The clock is ticking.
