Very pleased to see energy firms starting to pay millions in compensation to at least 40,000 people after the undercover Times investigation into prepayment meters in 2023. Expecting more payments like these to be announced in the future www.thetimes.com/article/e2be...

My latest (sort of) investigation for @thetimes.com featuring the wonderful Eddie, fake cavapoo but 100% genuine good boy www.thetimes.com/article/4d13...

My £2,500 cavapoo is a middle-class cliché. He’s also a fake
When Paul Morgan-Bentley found his family’s new puppy, Eddie, he carefully checked out the breeder and paperwork. But then his suspicions grew. Had he been duped?

Reform MP James McMurdock was jailed for repeatedly kicking his girlfriend. He had told the media he was jailed for "pushing" his former partner in 2006. Court records obtained by The Times say the sentence was given because of "the serious nature of the offence”. www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...
