The Critic  |  October 2025
In the October issue of The Critic, Chris Bayliss argues that the diverse and fractured communities of modern Britain make it more difficult for immigrants to integrate than was the case in the 1960s, while a special feature reveals the activist backgrounds of leading immigration tribunal judges.
Alexander Larman profiles Britain’s most acclaimed living playwright, Sir Tom Stoppard; Michael Bentley remembers the acerbic historian Maurice Cowling; David Goodhart asks what has become of progressive journalism in the thirty years since he launched Prospect magazine; Barendina Smedley returns to the Englishman’s Room; and Marian Boswall introduces her new landscape gardening column. Plus former ambassador David Frost on Henry Kissinger, Matthew Elliott on the history of Britain’s relations with Europe, Andrew Doyle on A.C. Benson and Boris Starling on Arsenal’s Eberechi Eze.
