The proposed takeover of The Telegraph by a foreign state, specifically Abu Dhabi, has sparked opposition from senior journalists and politicians. Keir Starmer's praise of Margaret Thatcher and Rishi Sunak's plan to block a BBC license fee increase are also featured in the news. David Davis and a third senior journalist have both called for the sale to be blocked, citing concerns over the newspaper's independence from government influence.
