Here’s something different to my usual work. I wrote about about a bizarre saga in Lewisham involving sacked union reps, an unsupervised legal team & solicitors’ fees costing the council hundreds of thousands. You can find the full story in this week’s ⁊Private Eye. ⁩

"Revelations that [the Jewish Chronicle] has published inaccurate and politically motivated reporting will not come as much of a surprise...But these revelations point to something far deeper than straightforward partisanship and a bit of sloppiness." www.972mag.com/jewish-chron...

Why did a British Jewish newspaper publish fake Israeli intelligence?

Israel’s army suspects fabrications published in the Jewish Chronicle were part of a pro-Bibi influence campaign, while the article’s author is not as he claims.

RoboCop is a horror movie because it's about a guy forced to work after he already died.

TUC Congress has passed a motion calling on the government to make sure migrant workers do not suffer the consequences of sponsor licence revocations. In May we reported that Home Office enforcement action led to 3000 care workers risking deportation. congress.tuc.org.uk/motion-05-mi...

In my 20s, I was at a book party. A couple of right wing blowhards were there too. A publicist said to me: “You should go right wing. The media can never find right wing young women. You’ll get so much work.” I said: “But I don’t believe in those views.” He laughed & said: “None of these guys do.” đŸ€·đŸ»â€â™€ïž

After we published our story, the MD of Ethero, the seasonal worker recruiter that had its licence revoked by the Home Office, posted this on Linkedin. He says they're bringing legal action against the Home Office & denies the company caused "welfare issues" for seasonal workers

Enforcement is a pillar of the new government's immigration policy,but who suffers from the fallout of regulatory action? In the case of this sponsor licence revocation about 100 workers were left in limbo for months. Many are now in debt & unemployed www.thebureauinvestigates.com/stories/2024...

Workers were promised UK jobs before recruiter had licence revoked
