Total launch

James Forsyth 4:44pm

I headed off to Milbank Tower last night for the launch of Total Politics, the brainchild of Iain Dale. The magazine looks great and has interviews with Gordon Brown and Lynton Crosby as well as articles by the great Mike Smithson, Paul Linford and The Spectator’s very own Clemency Burton-Hill. It is going to be a welcome and impressive addition to the reading lists of us political geeks. One has to take one hat’s off to Iain Dale, it is no mean achievement to launch a magazine in the present climate and to do so while getting married is doubly-impressive.

If you want to check out the magazine’s website, it is here. It has a whole bunch of fun features including a political speeches database which is very handy.

I read the interview with Gordon Brown (on the website, of course). I thought it was atrociously written. Thank God I didn't spend £3.99 on the hard copy.

Jackson - I tend to agree - it seems to tee-up a point and then move on to another issue - it seems to be a series of non-sequiters.

Frankly - I got bored and skimmed the last 40% !

All seems too pink and vivid to me.

Don't know about the vivid.

Geeks is the word alright.

The editorial board looks like the dinner party guest list from hell. Denis McShane, Caroline Lucas, Paddy Pantsdown, Shami Chakrabarti… oh my God! I'll give you £3.99 if you promise me it will never darken my door. Is that the business plan?

Yet another ginger group? (as Kenneth Horne would have said).
