Noel Clarke was today ordered to pay the Guardian an “initial” £3m towards the legal costs of successfully defending his libel claim. The judge also refused his request for more time to consider filing an appeal. theguardian.com/culture/2025…

The Guardian has won its High Court legal battle with the actor and director Noel Clarke, who sued us for libel over allegations of sexual misconduct. We ran two defences – truth and public interest – and won on both. judiciary.uk/wp-content/uplo…

This is, first and foremost, a huge vindication for all of the women went public with their allegations against Clarke – not least the many who testified against him in court. It is also testament to the professionalism and diligence of reporters @Lucy_Osborne and @sirin_kale.

Hard to comprehend how a men-only private member's club can exist in 2024. Curious to see whether (or how) these figures of the British establishment explain their ties to a club with such a policy. Bravo to @ameliagentleman for getting the story out. theguardian.com/society/2024…

These investigative reports on UK-Saudi arms deals and corruption are jaw-dropping. The UK's Ministry of Defence – as recently as 2017 – paid millions to a company later accused by the Serious Fraud Office of facilitating secret payments to Saudis.🧵theguardian.com/world/2024/m…

The Project Arrow controversy raises questions for top senior civil servants and ministers about what's been going on in recent years (and may be ongoing now). But it can also be viewed as the latest twist in a long and murky story of UK-Saudi arms deals.

Rare to see such incisive, important – and in places just plain funny – observations about UK media in a lecture. Hope senior executives, and not just students, digest some of @garyyounge's messages here. pressgazette.co.uk/diversity…

I was fortunate enough to do this back in 2017. A unique opportunity to do journalism in one of America’s best newsrooms. Nothing else quite like it if you’re an early-career British journalist hungry to learn and grow.
