Topics include British, European, and US politics, social issues, art, literature, cinema, science, the media, history, philosophy, and psychology. It features a mixture of lengthy analytic articles, first-person reportage, one-page columns, and shorter, quirky items.</p><p>Notable features of the magazine include head-to-head debates between two writers with opposing views on a subject; roundtable discussions, in which a series of experts with varying views on a given topic meet for a discussion, an edited transcript of which is published in the magazine; and interviews with major political and cultural figures.</p><p>The magazine prizes independence over <a href="/pages/w/108395789181871">ideology</a> and its articles and authors span the political spectrum. In recent years the magazine's founding editor, <a href="/pages/w/143612972318532">David Goodhart</a>, has stirred controversy with a series of articles arguing that the increasing diversity of the United Kingdom may weaken the bonds of solidarity on which the welfare state depends. The debate fed into the broader discussions of "<a href="/pages/w/112702348741261">Britishness</a>" that have become increasingly common in the public sphere.</p><p>Contributors include <a href="/pages/w/104039356298351">Lionel Shriver</a>, <a href="/pages/w/138434539514126">A.
