Welcome to Vertical Slice! we think you'll like it here.

A note from Vertical Slice founder and editor Chris Kerr:

Oh hey! Thanks for becoming a free member! I truly appreciate the support and understand that paying for journalism might still feel a little bizarre.

Like everyone else, you'll be able to browse all of our reporting for free until November 2, 2026. After that, you'll retain access to every single headline and select articles—but that paywall is coming in HOT.

Don't worry, though, we're running a limited-time launch sale that'll let you nab a monthly or yearly Supporter subscription at a whopping 33 percent discount. Right, now that means you can become a Supporter for £4.99/month or £46.87/year. C'mon, that's better than a slice of fried gold. 

Supporters unlock complete, unfiltered access to everything Vertical Slice offers (and will forever). That means all of our daily news, original reporting, the BIG interviews (we've already got a few lined up), some cheeky newsletters, and perhaps best of all... COMMENTS.

So, if you value fearless journalism and understand that a free, democratic press capable of holding power to account is a necessity, not a nicety, then consider becoming a paid member to support our work and help us grow. 

Remember, we have no corporate owners with conflicting commercial interests or scurrilous advertising partners eager to exploit our readers—just an unwavering commitment to publishing high-quality, worker-focused journalism that inspires, informs, and interrogates.
