Reported unevenly

When Clarke was declared bankrupt: December (as stated by dailymail.com) versus January 2026 (as stated by screendaily.com)stated by dailymail.com, screendaily.com
The date Clarke was ordered to pay Guardian legal costs: September 2025 according to screendaily.com versus December according to dailymail.com (which states it was 'months after' a legal loss, following the description of bankruptcy as occurring 'in December')stated by dailymail.com, screendaily.com
Clarify the timeline of Clarke's bankruptcy and legal costs order. dailymail.com states he was declared bankrupt 'in December' and 'just months after' a legal loss; screendaily.com states he was 'ordered to pay at least £3m towards Guardian News and Media's legal costs' in September 2025 and 'then declared bankrupt in January 2026.' These timelines are inconsistent—verify which month the bankruptcy declaration occurred and which outlet's sequence is accurate.stated by
