Every summer, The Spectator runs a paid internship scheme, which we arrange by categories: research, editing, data/tech, social media. Last year we added a new category: the political mischief internship. The quality of applicants was so extraordinary that we hired one of the applicants, John Connolly, who now works for The Spectator full time as assistant digital editor.
So we’re bringing it back for the new year – and out of season. Given the year-round demand for news, politics and an explanation to it all, we are looking for interns to help assist with Coffee House as soon as possible. We’re looking for someone who knows their Ben Bradshaws from Ben Bradleys. Someone digitally literate – who can file an FOI, navigate Photoshop and set up a Companies House alert. Someone who has a sense of humour and a developed sense of the absurd.
Those interested should complete two tasks of your choice from Part 1 and all of Part 2:
Part 1
- What connects Glasgow East, Southampton Itchen and Arfon?
- Which MP has changed their position the most times on Brexit in the past year? Provide evidence for your claim.
