Gareth Thomas, chair of the all-party parliamentary group for mutuals, said there were serious questions over Alison Hutchinson's position on the board of the building society while pursuing the sale of another big customer-owned firm. - Guardian

Vodafone and Orange are reported to have discussed a merger to create Europe's biggest telecoms operator but abandoned the tie-up owing to French opposition. The talks, between the middle of last year and early 2021, did not progress because the French state, which owns 23 per cent of Orange, was cautious about losing control and the prospect of the combined company's headquarters moving to London, according to BFM TV. - The Times
