AHA! It’s this week’s Big Issue…

Steve Coogan doesn’t give many interviews to the media but thankfully none of us have ever tried to hack his phone so he was happy to talk to The Big Issue. And talk he did – about his new film Greed, double standards in the fashion and celebrity industry, his bad behaviour and what’s next for Alan Partridge.

We also take a walk with Rory Stewart who despite calling himself a terrible politician is hoping to be Mayor of London. The route starts at the statue of a cat that belonged to former Lord Mayor of London Dick Whittington and then heads to Highgate Cemetery.

We also have the 24-page period poverty special produced in collaboration with Hey Girls!
