Which British political magazine was affectionately referred to as "The Staggers"?

The New Statesman is a British political and cultural magazine published in London. Founded as a weekly review of politics and literature on 12 April 1913, it was connected then with Sidney and Beatrice Webb and other leading members of the socialist Fabian Society. They had supported The New Age, a journal edited by A. R. Orage, but by 1912 that journal moved away editorially from supporting Fabian politics and women's suffrage.

Historically, the magazine was sometimes affectionately referred to as "The Staggers" because of crises in funding, ownership, and circulation. The nickname is now used as the title of its politics blog.

The magazine, which today is a print-digital hybrid, has, according to its present self-description, a liberal, sceptical political position.

The magazine had a certified average circulation of 34,025 in 2016, a 35-year high. Traffic to the magazine's website reached a new record high in June 2016, with 27 million page views and four million unique users.
