Making Current affairs this season’s ‘Must Have’

Politics and the City.com is a women’s lifestyle website, fusing politics with entertainment, fashion with music and a stream of celebrity blogs.

We offer an original platform for women to come, with fresh eyes, to global news and national issues and share their opinions.

Politics and the City grew from a concern that women want to be informed. We aren’t just into fashion - the way we think defines us just as much as the way we want to be seen.

Much of the population of both America and Britain, particularly women, live each day disengaged from the political process, distrustful of politicians and turned off by a media that assumes everyone is instantly ‘in the know’. This site is inspired by the ‘Special Relationship” between America and Britain and aims to keep users from both countries abreast of what is happening in the world of politics and popular culture.

Our mission is to inform and entertain without political bias, and keep the modern woman up to date - making current affairs just as important as THE current handbag!
