Editorial signature

Owned by Nikkei since the 2015 sale by Pearson, the FT runs the City of London's daily paper of record alongside the Lex investor column, Alphaville and a Brussels bureau that drove the Wirecard exposé under Dan McCrum. Editorial endorsements lean pro-European and pro-market — Remain in 2016, Labour in 2024 — and the Weekend FT's long reads and the Big Read define a globalist, professional-managerial register distinct from any other UK title.
