He is a columnist for The Observer, a blogger for The Spectator and a writer for Standpoint magazine. Born in Stockport and raised in Manchester, Cohen studied Philosophy, Politics and Economics at Oxford University before entering journalism. Early lifeBorn in Stockport, and raised in Manchester,[2] Cohen was educated at Altrincham Grammar School for Boys and Hertford College, Oxford, where he read Philosophy, Politics and Economics (PPE). CareerHe began his career at the Sutton Coldfield News, before moving to The Birmingham Post, later becoming a contributor to The Independent and The Observer in 1996, where his first story was on 'a seemingly dreary new feature about zero tolerance of crime in the United States, which offered few opportunities to impress my new employers.' Cohen drew a reputation as the scourge of Tony Blair, the former Prime Minister once stated that 'if I listened to Nick Cohen I would never win an election' and Andrew Adonis, who was at the time a Downing Street Policy Adviser, said that 'no one is better at getting under the Government's skin.' ViewsAlthough for many years a critic of Tony Blair's foreign policy, after 2001 he began modifying his views, advocating the 2003 invasion of Iraq,[3][4] and becoming a critic of the Stop the War Coalition.[5] In 2006, he was a leading signatory to the Euston Manifesto,[6] which proposed what it termed "a new political alignment" in which the left would take a stronger stance in favour of military intervention and against what the signatories deemed to be 'anti-American' attitudes. An opponent of what he has termed the "tyrannophile left",[7] Cohen has criticised individuals such as Andrew Murray[5] and George Galloway,[8] while expressing his admiration for the opposition movements in countries such as Belarus.[7] He is an atheist.[9] He called for Western military intervention in the Syrian Civil War.[10] He also supported the NATO-led intervention in Libya to oust former Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi in 2011.[11] In August 2014, Cohen was one of 200 public figures who were signatories to a letter to The Guardian opposing Scottish independence in the run-up to September's referendum on that issue.[12] Cohen criticised Ecuador for granting political asylum to Julian Assange and called Ecuador a "petro-socialist authoritarian state".[13] WorksCohen is columnist for The Observer and Standpoint and a regular contributor to The Spectator. He has also written for Time, Independent on Sunday and the London Review of Books,London Evening Standard, the New Statesman and The New European. He has written five books: Cruel Britannia: Reports on the Sinister and the Preposterous[14] (1999), a collection of his journalism; Pretty Straight Guys[15] (2003), a highly critical account of the New Labour project; What's Left?[16] (2007), a critique of the contemporary liberal left;[17] and Waiting for the Etonians: Reports from the Sickbed of Liberal England[18] (2009). His most recent book, You Can't Read this Book,[19] was published by HarperCollins in 2012 and deals with censorship. The Orwell Prize for political writing shortlisted What's Left? in 2008.[20] Personal lifeHe lives in Islington with his wife and their son.[21] Bibliography
