The Telegraph just gave a convicted criminal a two-page spread to explain why he's pumping £4 million into Reform UK. They tucked his criminal record away in the small print. So as a former financial crime specialist I’ll do their job for them👇

'Say hello to Milwall' jeered C Palace fans in winning at Spurs. Whoever thought a standin coach with no English football experience as player or manager was the right choice to lead a fight against relegation?
