Controversy Surrounds Abu Dhabi-Backed Takeover of The Daily Telegraph

A third senior journalist at The Daily Telegraph, Camilla Tominey, has voiced opposition to the proposed takeover of the newspaper by a UAE-backed fund, stating that it "doesn't pass the sniff test" and warning against ownership by a "sexist regime." Former Telegraph editor Charles Moore and former Prime Minister Liz Truss have also expressed concerns about the deal, calling for the protection of the newspaper's editorial independence. Culture Secretary Lucy Frazer has ordered media regulator Ofcom to investigate if the takeover poses risks to accurate news presentation and free expression of opinion.
