The Evening Standard reported a pre-tax loss of £14m in 2021 in its fifth consecutive year in the red.

While the pre-tax loss is lower than the £17m it posted last year, this year’s results mean the newspaper has lost a total of almost £70m over the past five years.

Turnover declined by 36% in the 53 weeks to 3 October 2021 from £44m to £28m, according to the latest Companies House filings for Evening Standard Ltd.
