About The Hansford Review
The Hansford Review is a UK-based blog that explores the ideas and events shaping current affairs. We publish clear, accessible analysis that cuts through noise and partisanship, helping readers make sense of politics, policy, society, and the world beyond the headline.
Our approach is simple: ask good questions, consult credible sources, and explain what matters with nuance. We favour evidence over outrage and context over hot takes, while keeping articles readable for busy people.
What we cover
From Westminster to world news, we examine public policy, economics, rights and justice, science and technology, culture, media, and the environment. Posts range from short explainers and quick reflections to longer reads and curated round-ups.
Our principles
- Accuracy and transparency: we cite sources, link to data where possible, and label updates and corrections.
- Independence and fairness: no pay-to-publish; potential conflicts are disclosed and a range of viewpoints is considered.
- Clarity and context: plain English, meaningful charts when useful, and definitions for jargon.
- Respectful debate: disagreement is welcome; bad-faith or abusive conduct is not.
- Accountability: if we get something wrong, we fix it—please let us know.
