THE Government is reportedly seeking to ditch plans to sell off Channel 4 in a remarkable U-turn which would signal a clean break with Boris Johnson’s approach to the broadcaster.
Culture Secretary Michelle Donelan has written to the Prime Minister advising against the sale of the channel, according to a letter published by the podcast The News Agents.
It would be an about-turn on one of Johnson’s flagship cultural policies, which was widely criticised by his political opponents and voices across the media and arts.
