The Spectator
The Spectator
is a British
conservative
political
magazine
, established
1828
, published weekly. It claims to be the oldest continually published magazine in the English language. Editorship of
The Spectator
is traditionally a launchpad for high flyers in the British Conservative Party with past holders being
Iain Macleod
and
Nigel Lawson
. The
current
editor is
Boris Johnson
, and it is owned by the
Barclay brothers
, who also own
The Daily Telegraph
. The publisher is the American
Kimberly Quinn
. Following the revelations of her affairs and
Boris Johnson
's comments about people from
Liverpool
the owners have installed
Andrew Neil
as Chief Executive but with no formal editorial role. Like
The Daily Telegraph
,
The Spectator
is
Atlanticist
in outlook, favouring close ties with the
United States
rather than with the
European Union
, and is strongly supportive of
Israel
.
