I’m opening a new home for my independent UK political reporting: The Whip Line* on Substack.

From November 1, most of my content will be posted there – and yes, most of it will be behind a paywall because I need to make this work financially sustainable.

What this means for you:

• Each day, a headline article will remain free for everyone.

• All other content will be available only to subscribers.

• This move is necessary because independent journalism like that of Vox Political isn’t financially viable without paid support. I’ve tried other avenues to keep the content free at the point of use, but they haven’t caught on — now I have to make this work pay.

Mailing list migration:

Unless you contact me to opt out, all current mailing list subscribers will be migrated to Substack, in order to keep you fully informed. If you want to opt out, simply email [email protected].

For existing supporters:

If you’re already donating regularly via Stripe or PayPal, you’re welcome to cancel those payments and join the new system on Substack. Every subscription helps keep independent reporting alive.

What’s changing:

• The new system will focus on subscriber content, but I’ll continue to provide one free headline article per day.

• Other content will be subscriber-only.

How to subscribe:

Visit https://thewhipline.substack.com/subscribe to subscribe for free or support the publication financially. Your support is what keeps independent journalism alive.

Thank you for your continued support — it means everything.

*Why not call it Vox Political again? Simple: there are other organisations called “Vox” in some way and I’m tired of living in their shade.
