Hello, and welcome to the second instalment of “Undercover”, where I try to explain a bit about how we put our covers together. For the Labour party conference special issue, we decided to try a young cartoonist, Ben Jennings, who won last year’s Political Cartoon of The Year award.
I wrote last month about the New Statesman‘s incredible history as a breeding ground for cartoonists (Martin Rowson, Will Self, the Telegraph’s “Matt” and Peter Brookes all got a start here) so it’s nice to continue that tradition by giving Ben the cover.
