About Parliamentary Brief

‘One of the very few high-quality independent magazines in Britain... it manages to be essential reading for anyone trying to understand the twists and turns of British political life.’ — Francis Cairncross, former Management Editor, The Economist

In-depth commentary and analysis

Parliamentary Brief has an enviable reputation in and outside Westminster for delivering insightful, in-depth commentary and analysis on a range of political issues both at home and abroad.  We go beyond the day to day headlines, focusing on key policy areas such as health, education, transport, energy, defence and foreign affairs.

Putting the focus on policy

By putting the focus on policy and sourcing expert opinion on the issues that matter most we have become required reading for those who want to be informed about politics and government both in and outside Westminster.    

Parliamentary Brief is required reading for those who want to be informed about politics and government today. It goes beyond the day-to-day headlines and provides background analysis of political events. — George Jones, former political editor, Daily Telegraph

We don’t operate on a 24 hour news cycle. We produce editorial that has long-term relevance; that not only informs policy makers but also influences the decisions they make.   Our contributors are recognised experts in their field; they write for us because we are independent, because we transcend partisan opinion and because we go to the heart of the political debate.

We don’t do spin and we won’t be spun

That’s why we garner respect across the political divide — and that's why we are read by Ministers, MPs, senior civil servants, local government leaders and the political media — in short the very audience you want to reach.

‘ Through the issues that it covers, and the contributors which it attracts, Parliamentary Brief reminds those who fall into [the trap of Westminster obsession] that the world begins when you leave Westminster’ — Liam Fox, Defence Secretary

That’s what we do.
Now this is what we can do for you …
