Steve Topple is an independent journalist, and political and social commentator. Covering a varying range of topics from domestic politics, economics and social/ethnological issues to the Middle East, Europe and Russia, via pop culture and music/literary reviews – his opinions have been cited as “ultra-left and sectarian” by Owen Jones, while many consider him a firebrand of the freelance world, with an acerbic tongue and no-nonsense style.

Permanently based at The Canary as a contributing writer, he is also UK Political Editor for newly-established Scisco Media.

He frequently contributes for The Independent and openDemocracy, has written for theCommonSpace, Morning Star, Red Pepper, Occupy and INSURGEIntel among others, and can be seen on television as a regular commentator on Russia Today UK and International and Al Jazeera, and heard on talkRadio, Sputnik International Radio and Talk Radio Europe.
