In April, Crispin Odey dropped his £79mn #libel claim against us. This is the inside story of how Odey’s battle to reclaim his reputation backfired. It's about the brave women who spoke out against him — and the new allegations the two-year legal saga unearthed. www.ft.com/content/edbe...

On Friday, Crispin Odey wisely abandoned his £79mn libel claim against us. He admitted he'd been "forced to accept" we would win. This victory is for our sources, particularly the 16 women who were coming to court as our witnesses. There’s a lot more to say. Watch this space. But for now... 🥂

We spent months reporting on problems at North London Collegiate School’s Singapore outpost – which former staff said is a far cry from its London namesake. They said bullying, misogyny, safeguarding lapses & a “bums on seats” mentality undermined the prestigious – & proudly feminist – NLCS brand.

The UK’s private schools are some of the most revered educational institutions in the world. Many are utilising their renown to open franchise schools overseas. But how easy is it to maintain the same standards thousands of miles away? W/@madisonmarriage.bsky.social www.ft.com/content/3513...

I didn't think it possible, but this remarkable piece by @madisonmarriage.bsky.social has made me more in awe of her than ever. It is a work of emotional beauty & hugely important reportage exposing terrifying NHS failings. Pls share, to avoid future needless tragedies. www.ft.com/content/f94a...

Hands' representatives denied he had a tendency to talk about sex or books about sex. Read our full story online and in print @financialtimes.com today. My DMs are open or firstname.lastname@ft.com. Thanks to superstar Caroline Binham and tireless @mattvella.bsky.social, plus wider FT team. 4/4

Several staff said Hands’ commented on the size of women’s breasts. Another said he told a story about a business associate masturbating in the bath. They said he was volatile & unchallenged; “charming and charismatic” one moment, “harsh [and] domineering” the next. 3/4

We spoke to 25 former employees and business associates who worked with Hands between 2002 and 2023. Together, they said he was a bully who raged and screamed at staff, humiliated underlings, and made sexually explicit comments. Hands and Terra Firma deny the allegations. 2/4

NEW 🚨 In recent years, Guy Hands has focused on legacy. He retired from Terra Firma to focus on philanthropy, & last week ended a controversial deal with a £6bn swan song. But former staffers described to me & @carolinebinham another side to Hands. 1/4 www.ft.com/content/20bd...
