The Spectator’s sales are booming. Find out why

It’s been a busy weekend for subscriptions at The Spectator and already it’s our best January since our records began (in 1828). Today (Monday) we’ve already broken the one-day record. Which stands to reason. These are uncertain times, so you will want the best and sharpest analysis – all of which is up our website within an hour of any major news breaking. Given the extraordinary demand, we’re offering a month free access to The Spectator (with four issues of the magazine) absolutely free. Sign up here.

You’ll find that The Spectator gives writers a lot of freedom – which can be discombobulating for some in the digital age. Now and again, we see a Twitterstorm. You’ll know the format: outrage over a sentence plucked from an article. This often leads people to track down the article itself and find out for themselves what was being said – and what The Spectator is about.
