British journalist (born 1953)

Thomas Dermot Utley[1] (born 29 November 1953) is a British journalist who writes for the Daily Mail.

Life and career

Utley is the son of the journalist T. E.

Utley wrote for The Daily Telegraph, where he was described by The Independent as a "star Telegraph columnist" but left in early 2006 after being offered a salary of £120,000 by the Daily Mail. He has made a career out of opposing wokery.[5][6] (i.e. related to woke).
