The Critic is Britain's new monthly magazine for politics, ideas, art, literature and much more.Edited by Christopher Montgomery, The Critic exists to push back against a self-regarding and dangerous consensus that finds critical voices troubling, triggering, insensitive and disrespectful. The point is not provocation or trolling. The point of honest criticism is to better approach truth, not deny its possibility.As we explain in our launch editorial, ossified thought and a lack of intellectual rigour are depressing features of all sides of today's political and cultural debate. Our writers will subscribe to no editorial line nor serve the interests of any party, faction or cause. We ask them to write because we expect them to be honest, and lucidly so. Look to our contributors and fault us if they are not.To subscribe, click here.Editorial inquiries: editorial@thecritic.co.ukAdvertising inquiries: olivia.hartley@thecritic.co.uk
