He began his career with the lads' mag Nuts Magazine,[1] and has also written for the Evening Standard,[2] The Guardian,[3] The i,[4] The Week,[5] and Spiked.
While working at men's magazines, West wrote a number of short humour books, including one called How to Pull Women (2006), which he later described on his blog for The Daily Telegraph as "embarrassing".
[7] West's book, The Diversity Illusion, which examines the adverse effects of mass immigration on British society, was published in April 2013.
Reviewing the book, Peter Oborne described West as "one of the most interesting of the rising generation of political writers, who delights in destroying liberal pieties".
West's 2020 book Small Men on the Wrong Side of History focuses on the failures of post-war conservatism.
