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... 🥂

"The video shows a bottle of Sizzle right next to his Drizzle." Majestic coverage. THIS is what I want.

I wrote about my brother Charlie’s final 48 hours, and his increasingly desperate attempts to track down an emergency supply of medication from the NHS. It’s an upsetting read but one I’m proud of. He’d be delighted to have made the @financialtimes.com magazine front cover: on.ft.com/434zZqn
