About Sam Freedman
Comment is Freed is written by Sam and Lawrence Freedman and is the UK’s most popular politics substack.
Our aim is to cover the big trends that really matter at home and abroad, while trying to avoid the day-to-day ephemera which fills so much space in newspapers. We try to make posts as informative as possible, with lots of links and data, so that even if you don’t agree with our assessment they can still be useful.
Sam mainly writes about policy and politics – ranging pretty widely. This includes rapid analyses of Government announcements; thematic pieces on trends; and policy analysis. He will also use policy issues to explore his interests in behavioural psychology, psephology and forecasting.
