(Sharecast News) - Royal Mail workers will stage six more days of strike action in December, including on Christmas Eve, as part of the latest walkouts to affect the postal service. Members of the Communication Workers Union (CWU) at the service will go on strike on 9, 11, 14, 15, 23 and 24 December. - Guardian Collapsed cryptocurrency exchange FTX's financial records were worse than Enron, its administrator has claimed. John Ray, who was appointed as FTX's liquidator last week, told a US bankruptcy court in filings made public on Wednesday: "Never in my career have I seen such a complete failure of corporate controls and such a complete absence of trustworthy financial information as occurred here." - Telegraph

The ground was also the home of Wasps rugby club before it went into administration last month. - The Times
