Review

"Good quality journalism and commentary is hugely important and I enjoy Prospect a lot. I read it regularly and I know that it is widely read among staff at Number 10" -- Tony Blair "Prospect magazine is the sharpest, wittiest and increasingly the most important journal of opinion in Britain. Anyone who wants to know what good minds are thinking about in Europe simply must subscribe to it" -- Michael Ignatieff "I absolutely love it, I really do. I took it on holiday and my girlfriend's looking at me like I'm some sort of weirdo" -- Dermot O'Leary "To dine at the Prospect table is to be assured of a well-chosen international menu, with selections of solid and nutritious writing, not unalleviated by lighter and wittier fare. The vintages travel well..." -- Christopher Hitchens "Occasionally I'm flipping through it and I say ****, ****, damn, that's a brilliant article!" -- Boris Johnson
