Our yearlong investigation reveals Nigel Farage courting illicit funding as part of a plot to bring foreign money into British politics, orchestrated by his top aides and caught on hidden camera.

@ManojNainhycd well they were VCs/ at startups …

[Aisha S Gani @aishagani]

@ZaraRahim @usopen I was sitting in front of a row of VC bros last night and their yapping wouldn’t stop. It was maddening. What’s going on?

My friend and former Washington Post colleague @ishaantharoor has a piece in @NewYorker today that gets at something I've been trying to put into words all week: what happened this week isn't just a natural disaster story; it's a story about who pays for a crisis they didn't help create.

Ishaan traces how a catastrophic glacial collapse became a 500+ death toll, and threads it into everything else Nepal has been carrying in the past year: a Gen Z uprising, a new government trying to prove itself, and now a disaster that will likely set the country back a decade.

We spoke the other day about how my newsroom has been covering this and what this moment feels like from Nepal. Here's what I told him: a year ago the ground shook because of us -- our politics, our anger, our frustration. This week, it was the actual ground again. It’s as if Nepalis are having to alternate between the disasters we cause and the ones that just arrive.

We have more than 100 journalists from Kathmandu Post, Kantipur Daily, and Kantipur TV entirely focused on covering the devastating floods and their impact in Nepal.

Reporters who left Kathmandu 72 hours ago and hiked on foot to reach settlements that are hardest hit. A team of breaking news reporters working round the clock. Editors synthesizing information from dozens of districts to build a coherent, accurate picture as it changes hour by hour. Photographers and camera crews documenting loss that words alone can't capture.

Some of our own journalists have been personally affected — reporting on their neighbors, their districts, sometimes their own families, while doing their jobs.

This is what it takes to cover a disaster like this responsibly: people on the ground, verifying, asking hard questions, and staying long after the story stops trending.

This week, we did something we've never done before: ask readers to start paying for stories they read. If you've found our coverage useful these past days, consider subscribing — it directly funds the reporters, photographers, and editors who are doing this work, and helps us keep doing it for the stories that come after this one.

Hello! Some highlights from my first week as a Knight-Bagehot Fellow at Columbia University. I’m spending the year taking MBA courses at the Business School so that I can deepen my knowledge and bring sharper reporting to the stories I cover. I’m thrilled to be back in New York:

JPMorgan has been instrumental in the formation of Fifa’s plans to raise $4.2bn from global investors for a new commercial entity valued at roughly $20bn.

That project, just like the Super League, is now at risk of unravelling. https://t.co/cbVoPIgHGs
