For all the horrors and hardships of the Covid-19 pandemic, there were heroes too. Those who saved lives on the frontline of the NHS, or continued to go to work and perform their critical jobs while the rest of us stayed at home. Then there was Captain Sir Tom Moore, who used the time to raise millions for charity by walking laps of his garden.
We have known for some time that this story of bravery and good nature had a darker side. Today, an excoriating report by the charities watchdog finds that Sir Tom’s family made more than £1 million through their association with the charity set up in his name. The Charity Commission concluded there had been repeated instances of misconduct by the veteran’s daughter, Hannah Ingram-Moore and her husband, Colin. The Ingram-Moore family said they were treated “unfairly and unjustly” in a report into their association with the charity.
