Matthew Engel’s first newspaper article was a paragraph about a small fire in a barn that appeared in the Northamptonshire Evening Telegraph in 1971. He was advised to praise the efficiency of the fire brigade, so they would continue to hand out information.

In the years since then, he has had one of the most varied and unusual careers in British journalism, mainly for The Guardian and now the Financial Times.

 In the past 12 months alone he has covered the Beijing Olympics, the US elections, and reported from Liechtenstein, Switzerland and Ireland

In April this year, he was one of the first journalists to report police excesses at the demonstrations in London. Most of his latest FT pieces can be found here.

His report on the G20 demonstrations can be found here.

His Parliamentary Sketch on the April 2009 Budget - "Darling Drizzles the Rich" can be found here.
