About Tom Newton Dunn
Tom Newton Dunn is one of the most prominent figures in British political journalism, having served as the Political Editor of The Sun and the Chief Political Commentator at Times Radio.

He has interviewed six British Prime Ministers, twice questioned President Donald Trump, and conducted the first broadcast interview with a Chief of MI6.
His background in news began at The Daily Telegraph, followed by a significant tenure at The Daily Mirror as a Defence Correspondent.
