Stephen Bush went to University at Balliol College, Oxford, where he studied history and was a member of the Oxford University Labour Club. He graduated in 2011. He started his career writing for the Daily Telegraph and has written for The Mirror, The Times, The Financial Times, The Observer, and The Guardian. He has appeared on the BBC programme Newsnight. He joined The New Statesman in 2015 and became Political Editor in December 2018.

The Board of Deputies decided, following the racist murder of George Floyd in mid-2020, to investigate whether black members of the Jewish Community felt instances of marginalisation and discrimination. As a result, the Commission for Racial Inclusivity in the Jewish Community was born with Stephen Bush invited to lead the Commission.

Stephen has won several awards including the Political Studies Association Journalist of the Year award in 2017
