Red Pepper

Radical? Socialist? Green? Feminist? Red Pepper has been the voice of dissent spicing up politics for 20 years!

Defiant in its search for the truth, Red Pepper is a leading dissenting voice in British politics, independent of all political parties, debunking the myths that exist to protect powerful interests.

It seeks to be a space for debate, a resource for all movements for social justice, consistently internationalist and a home for anyone who wants a world based on equality, meaningful democracy and freedom.

Red Pepper is a non-profit magazine and exists because all those involved believe the left needs publications which are non-sectarian yet unafraid to take a stand, radical yet undogmatic, and thoughtful yet orientated on real-world activism.

After 31 years, Red Pepper is ceasing print production, but this is not the end!

Our final, extended quarterly edition considers transformations in left media past, present and future – surveying a vibrant landscape of investigative journalism, anarchist publishing, digital content, grassroots mentoring and new print ventures. We hope glimpses into other possibilities will inspire readers to help us decide where Red Pepper goes next.

Elsewhere, contributors explore the potential of new left political movements rising across the UK – and explore the promises and pitfalls of building new parties, coalitions and alliances. We look behind international headlines with deep dives into Syria after Assad, Big Oil in the Niger Delta, and oligarchs rising in Georgia. With books, regular features, previews and more, The Last Issue? is a bumper issue going out with a bang.
