BritainNow.uk is a general digital news publication providing daily reporting, analysis and cultural coverage for readers across the United Kingdom. We are operated by Calpe Press Ltd., a private company limited by shares registered in Gibraltar (company number 129044), with our registered office at Unit 5, The Watergardens, Waterport Road, Gibraltar GX11 1AA. Our mission is to deliver helpful, reliable, people-first journalism that serves UK readers with factual accuracy and editorial independence.
What is BritainNow.uk and what do we stand for?
BritainNow.uk is a UK-focused digital news publication offering daily journalism across politics, business, technology, culture and public affairs. Our editorial team is based in Britain and reports on the stories that matter to readers across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
We are committed to factual accuracy, editorial independence and transparency in how we work. Every piece of content we publish — from breaking news to opinion pieces — is subject to editorial review before it goes live. Our readers can trust that what they read is checked, sourced and produced by real journalists, not automated systems working without oversight.
Who is BritainNow.uk for?
BritainNow.uk is for anyone in the United Kingdom who wants clear, trustworthy reporting on the issues shaping their lives. Our audience includes general readers seeking daily news, professionals following Westminster and policy developments, business people tracking markets and personal finance, and culture lovers interested in arts, lifestyle and society.
We aim to serve a broad, curious readership. Whether you are catching up on the day’s headlines, reading an explainer on a complex policy, or exploring a feature on British culture, our journalism is designed to be accessible, accurate and genuinely useful.
What do we cover?
Our editorial focus spans the full spectrum of UK news: Westminster, councils, policy and government affairs; business, markets, economics and personal finance; technology and industry; arts, culture, lifestyle and features. We publish daily news reporting, analysis, explainers, opinion pieces and cultural coverage.
Our team includes dedicated editors for each major beat. Thomas Whitmore oversees politics and public affairs, Charlotte Foster covers business and the economy, and Sophie Marlope edits our culture and lifestyle section. This specialist structure ensures depth and expertise in every area we report on.
How do we work?
Every piece of editorial content published by BritainNow.uk is reviewed by a human editor before publication. For sensitive stories — those involving allegations, vulnerable people, legal risk or significant public interest — we require additional review by our Standards & Fact-Checking Lead, Oliver Reeves.
Our editorial policy and fact-checking policy set out in detail how we source, verify, write and correct our journalism. Digital tools may support research, editing, formatting or transcription, but AI must never fabricate quotes, sources, interviews or bylines. All final content is the responsibility of our editorial team.
Who is responsible for what we publish?
Jonathan Ellery is our Editor-in-Chief and oversees editorial policy, corrections, standards, publication decisions, source review and content quality. Day-to-day editorial planning, the publishing schedule, newsroom workflow and article commissioning are led by Managing Editor Rebecca Haines.
Our full editorial team is listed on the Our Team page, including contact details for each editor. Oliver Reeves, as Standards & Fact-Checking Lead, is responsible for fact-checking, source verification, corrections review and the review of sensitive stories before publication.
