spiked is the magazine that wants to change the world as well as report on it. We are irreverent where others conform, questioning where others wallow in received wisdom, and radical where others cling to the status quo.

Founded in 2000, spiked has spent 25 years at the vanguard of online political journalism, making the case for freedom of speech, democracy and human endeavour, and against authoritarianism, identity politics and misanthropic greenism.

Our mission: we are committed to questioning everything, and always willing to say what others won't. We aim to enlighten and entertain, not hector or lecture.

Today, spiked reaches millions of people with our punchy polemics, incisive essays and growing roster of podcasts and videos.
