The Week was a British newspaper from 1933 until 1941, described by its founder as an "extreme left-wing news sheet".
[1] Marxist journalist Claud Cockburn launched the first British publication known as The Week as a newsletter in the spring of 1933, after he had returned from reporting on Germany.
[3] Cockburn maintained in the 1960s that much of the information in The Week was leaked to him by Sir Robert Vansittart, the Permanent Under-Secretary of the Foreign Office.
In a 1937 article in The Week, Cockburn coined the term Cliveden set to describe what he alleged to be an upper-class pro-German group that exercised influence behind the scenes.
[1] Watt alleges that the information printed in The Week included rumours, some of which suited Moscow's interests.
