This piece by @martynziegler for @TimesSport may go down as one of the most impactful pieces of sports reporting in recent memory. This is why journalism exists and we should all be thankful for the work Martyn and his colleagues have done.

NEW: The Times has established that Nigel Farage and his partner own at least five homes spanning Surrey, Essex and Kent.
All but one were bought with cash since 2000. Farage described himself as "skint" in 2017.

This is why Sullivan and his bent law firm used every trick they could find to keep the stories about him out of the press,
Itās also why our laws shouldn't permit it.

Our advocacy manager @Chloe_chc_25 carries a Ā£100,000 Hong Kong police bounty ā just like those targeted by the the Chinese Communist Party spy ring operating out of Hong Kong's London trade office.
In today's @thetimes, she calls for the U.K. government to close the spy hub with immediate effect:
"The security minister, @DanJarvisMBE, often says that the British government 'will not tolerate' transnational repression. If that is true, then Londonās Hong Kong trade office must be closed without delay."

In this deep dive article for @thetimes, @AliMitib exposes how #HKETO spy Bill Yuen studied policing alongside #HongKong Chief Executive and former Secretary for Security John Lee.
HKETOs cannot be used as an outpost for Hong Kong's national security forces. Their consular privileges and status must be urgently reviewed.

//Wai and Yuen were found guilty by a majority verdict at the Old Bailey.
The Times can reveal that the pair were arrested after a long-running investigation by MI5. Their convictions are the first relating to Chinese espionage in British history.//

Welcome news as two men are found guilty of spying and working for the Chinese Communist Party under the Conservativesā landmark National Security Act,
But a successful prosecution means nothing when the broader policy is appeasement. You canāt prosecute spies with one hand and roll out the red carpet for Beijing with the other.
Deterrence requires a Government willing to call out Beijing threats and confront them - until that happens we will remain vulnerable.
