1977

Hugo James Rifkind (born 30 March 1977) is a British journalist.

Hugo Rifkind was born in 1977 in Edinburgh, the son of the Conservative Party politician Sir Malcolm Rifkind and his wife Edith, daughter of Polish airforce engineer Joseph Steinberg, who was imprisoned in Siberia after the annexation of Poland and lost his first wife and daughter.

Rifkind was educated at the independent Loretto School in Musselburgh, near Edinburgh, where, he has written, he was the only Jewish pupil.

He also attended George Watson's College in Edinburgh before reading philosophy at Emmanuel College, Cambridge.

2002

Rifkind began his career in journalism as an editorial assistant for the show business website Peoplenews.com, before becoming a freelance writer for The Times and the Evening Standard, and a columnist for The Herald in Glasgow from 2002 to 2005.

He joined The Times in 2005, taking over the gossip column ("People") from Andrew Pierce.

In The Times, Rifkind writes a Tuesday opinion column, and a satirical diary ("My Week") in the style of a public figure in the news, and a television review column, both on Saturdays.

2007

From 2007 to 2017 he wrote a fortnightly column for The Spectator, striking a liberal, pro-European tone which ran against the magazine's conservative, Eurosceptic editorial line.

Frequently his columns expressed concern about anthropogenic global warming, about which The Spectator's writers are often "sceptical".

He also contributes a monthly column for GQ.

Additionally, he has appeared on BBC Radio 4's satirical quiz show The News Quiz.

His debut novel, Overexposure, a satirical farce set in the London media world, was published in 2007.

2010

In a 2011 Times column, Rifkind admitted that on 23 November 2010 he had inserted fictitious information about Queen Victoria in Wikipedia's article on the date 29 April.

The information was then repeated as fact by two national newspapers (the Daily Mirror and The Daily Telegraph) the following day.

2011

2013

A compendium of his columns, My Week: The Secret Diaries Of Almost Everyone, was published in 2013.

His second novel Rabbits, described by his publisher as "Iain Banks meets The Secret History in a story of drugs, aristocracy and disputed inheritance" is due in 2024.

2014

In August 2014, Rifkind was one of 200 public figures who were signatories to a letter to The Guardian expressing their hope that Scotland would vote to remain part of the United Kingdom in September's referendum on that issue.
