Is the NS bug in the family?

My nine-year-old daughter likes to read the Q&A.

What pages do you flick to first?

The columns at the front and back, then the longer pieces.

How do you read yours?

Very often on public transport.

What would you like to see more of in the NS?

Contemporary art, and non-mainstream cinema.

Who are your favourite NS writers?

Jeremy Cliffe, Michael Prodger, Kate Mossman.

Who would you put on the cover of the NS?

This is a double-edged question: the cover is rarely celebratory!

Jacob Rees-Mogg.

All-time favourite NS article?

I miss Alice O’Keeffe’s columns.

The New Statesman is…

A rare voice of sanity.
