The Critic | June 2026
Welcome to The Critic — Britain’s monthly current affairs and culture magazine, dedicated to rigorous content and first-rate writing — and unafraid to ask the questions others won’t.
In the June issue of The Critic, pollster Scarlett Maguire explains how shifting voter behaviour is reprogramming Britain’s first-past-the-post system to magnify rather than minimise the power of previously minor parties. Sienna Rodgers lifts the lid on how Jeremy Corbyn’s Your Party lost the plot, and Henry Hill finds a Conservative Party suffering an acute case of denial about its past and prospects. From Italy, Nicholas Farrell profiles Giorgia Meloni and the chances of her government surviving.
Away from politics, Andreas Campomar celebrates the life and English influences of the great Argentine writer, Jorge Luis Borges, David Elstein looks at the issues in the new BBC director-general’s in-tray, and Sarah Ditum wonders if Confessions II marks the end of Madonna’s talent for reinvention, whilst Pierre d’Alancaisez and Lisa Hilton report from Venice’s art biennale.
