During his decade and a half in charge of The Spectator, Fraser established the magazine as a forthright, leading voice in right-leaning politics in an age of digitalisation, division and disruption (as well as making the title a commercial success in a struggling market). Fraser has also become a commentator respected on all sides for his clarity, and has established himself as a progressive, thoughtful voice on the right of British politics.
Fraser Nelson is a columnist for The Times. He edited The Spectator between 2009 and 2024, during which time its subscriptions doubled in a market that fell by two-thirds. He’s been named Political Columnist of the Year and was voted Editor of the Year by his fellow magazine editors, as well as being cited as one of the most influential journalists working today. He started as a financial journalist for The Times, was political editor of The Scotsman and has presented three Channel Four films, most recently on the welfare state.
Fraser describes himself as an "old-fashioned Adam Smith liberal" and is often seen as a modern, progressive, thoughtful voice on the right of British politics. A frequent commentator on TV (including on Question Time where he has become a regular), radio and in the press, he often gives a sharp, informed, objective insight into policy, ideas and attitudes. Alongside his journalistic duties Fraser is a board member of think tank the Centre for Policy Studies and advisory board member at the Centre for Social Justice.
