If you’ve seen this month’s magazine (if not, why not?), then you’ll already have seen our interview with Chloe Rodgers.

We have a favour to ask
LeftLion is Nottingham’s meeting point for information about what’s going on in our city, from the established organisations to the grassroots. We want to keep what we do free to all to access, but increasingly we are relying on revenue from our readers to continue. Can you spare a few quid each month to support us?
