Twins talk

BILLIONAIRE identical twins David and Frederick Barclay gained, lost and regained several fortunes between them, leading to a tumultuous relationship and ownership of British staples such as Littlewoods and the Daily Telegraph.

David died in 2021 but more recently the Barclay family put in a £1billion bid to try to regain control of the newspaper group.

Financial journalist Jane Martinson will discuss the siblings at the Relais Henley next Thursday (November 2) at 7.30pm for a Henley Literary Festival pop-up event. Tickets cost £12.50. Visit www.henleyliterary
