One month ago today, we published Peter Oborne’s allegations that Britain’s Daily Telegraph has suppressed negative news about HSBC, one of its major advertisers – and that the paper has let advertising priorities shape some of its editorial judgements.

The Telegraph was quick to issue a public statement denouncing this “astonishing and unfounded attack, full of inaccuracy and innuendo". However, one month on, they are yet to provide any evidence which disproves Oborne’s claims.
