Reaction.life is a British commentary and news outlet[1][2] that features reporting and analysis on politics, economics, culture and ideas.[3]

Reaction is based in London and edited by former Scotsman, Telegraph and Wall Street Journal executive Iain Martin, who is also a columnist for The Times. In July 2016 Robert Gascoyne-Cecil, 7th Marquess of Salisbury joined the board as Chairman. Mark Fox is Deputy Chairman.[4]

Notable stories[]

On 30 June 2016, Boris Johnson withdrew from the Conservative Party leadership election, Iain Martin published an account of the run up to the unexpected announcement that day describing it as a "cuckoo in the nest"[5] plot by Michael Gove.

During the leadership election, Reaction published an article[6] by a former colleague of Andrea Leadsom, Robert Stephens, alleging that she had misstated the extent of her roles in the financial sector.[7] This was the first of a series of revelations[8] that lead to Leadsom withdrawing from the race to become leader of the Conservative Party and UK Prime Minister.[9][10]
