Thomas Zoltan Newton Dunn (born 16 December 1973) is an English political journalist. Having previously worked for ten years as a defence journalist and foreign reporter, since 2009 he has been the political editor of The Sun newspaper.
Newton Dunn also regularly appears on BBC and Sky News, and is one of the hosts of BBC Radio 4's Week in Westminster and was on the now-defunct What the Papers Say.
Newton Dunn was born in St Pancras, London to Hungarian-born Anna (née Arki) and Bill Newton Dunn, the former Conservative and then Liberal Democrat MEP for 30 years.
He was educated at Marlborough College in Wiltshire and Edinburgh University, receiving an MA Honours degree in English Literature.
Between 2005 and 2014, his mother ran the European Movement Speaker Service, which provided "Pro Europe speakers for educational establishments and civic societies to debate all aspects of Britain's membership of the EU". His father, who was a strong supporter of the UK adopting the Euro currency, defected from the Conservatives to Liberal Democrats in 2000 due to the party's Euroscepticism.
Newton Dunn joined The Daily Telegraph as a diary reporter for the Peterborough column in 1996, moving to the Daily Mirror to join their Graduate Trainee scheme the next year. He spent several years (1999–2001) with the Mirror as a news reporter, before being made the paper's defence correspondent after the 9/11 terrorist attacks covering the Afghanistan and Iraq wars.
