Symbolic gestures won't prevent illegal working

T he Home Office's latest move to crack down on illegal working in the gig economy feels more like political theatre than a serious solution. Announcing a plan to share data with food delivery businesses such as Deliveroo, Just Eat, and Uber Eats, specifically around asylum hotel locations, sounds bold on paper. But in reality, it is unlikely to achieve much. The government wants these companies to flag and cancel accounts repeatedly active in 'high-risk' areas. But this relies on the flawed assumption that such monitoring will deter or even detect illegal workers. It won't. The simple fact is that account sharing is incredibly easy to get around. More information will be shared with food delivery companies such as Just Eat, Uber Eats and Deliveroo ALAMY And the reality is that these companies do not have a genuine incentive to stop it. Unlike traditional employers, they are not subject to a penalty of up to £60,000 per illegal worker. So why would they invest in better checks or policing their own systems? The simple fact is that gig economy companies do not know who is using their apps, and who is engaging with their customers under their brand name, making illegal work easy, effortless and undetectable. If ministers were serious about tackling this issue, they would demand more — facial recognition or real-time identity verification every time a job is accepted could make a real difference. Illegal workers simply would not be able to operate. But until that's mandated, and until companies face real consequences, nothing will change. Worryingly, the issue does not end with gig economy firms. There is a troubling lack of understanding among traditional employers about their own compliance risks. Since 2022, businesses have been allowed to use digital verification services for right to work checks on British and Irish nationals. But many are using the same checks for foreign workers without realising that doing so leaves them legally exposed. Employers are surprised to learn that they are not establishing the all-important statutory excuse for their foreign workers. Large organisations — including NHS trusts, local authorities, universities and household organisations — are unknowingly putting themselves at risk. They believe using digital verification is enough — but it does not give them the legal protection they think it does. When foreign workers lose their right to work, or even exceed their permitted hours, employers are shocked to be slapped with penalties from the Home Office. Both the gig economy and traditional employment are riddled with loopholes. And while the government focuses on symbolic gestures such as data sharing, illegal work will continue, unchecked and undetected. If this crackdown is to mean anything, there needs to be more enforcement, starting with the government holding the platforms and third-party providers accountable.

The popular TV presenter, who could be seen standing in a garden, penned: 'When you're not in Wembley but your head is… have fun tonight if you're lucky enough to be going 🖤.' Shock moment Katherine Ryan jokes about Holly Willoughby's kidnap ordeal and Alison Hammond's weight live on stage After her holiday wraps up, it has been confirmed that Holly will be returning as a celebrity panellist on Stephen Mulhern's You Bet! On Tour. Holly was left without an ITV show for the first time this year when Dancing on Ice was axed but her one-off appearance on You Bet will see her back on screen. As well as Holly, a whole host of famous faces will be appearing throughout the series run - which is expected to drop later this year.

Research Reveals S&P 500 Companies are Urged to Boost Bitcoin Holdings

Institutional investors and wealth managers want to see more publicly listed companies holding Bitcoin as a reserve asset on their balance sheets, according to new global research. The study was carried out by London-based Nickel Digital Asset Management, Europe's leading digital assets hedge fund manager founded by alumni of Bankers Trust, Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan. It surveyed institutional investors and wealth managers and found nearly half (49%) believe 10% or more of S&P 500 listed companies will adopt Bitcoin on their balance sheets. Slightly more than half (51%) predict between 5% and 10% will have Bitcoin on their balance sheets. Data from shows the number of bitcoin held by companies has increased by up to 170% in the past year with firms holding about 3.2% of all bitcoins that can be issued. Software group Strategy – previously known as Micro Strategy – accounts for the vast majority of holdings but London-listed companies as well as firms in Japan and France are also investing, with some branching out into other cryptocurrencies. Nickel's research with institutional investors and wealth managers in the US, UK, Germany, Switzerland, Singapore, Brazil and the United Arab Emirates with organisations who collectively manage around $1.1 trillion in assets found strong support for publicly listed companies holding Bitcoin as a reserve asset on their balance sheet. Around nine out of 10 (86%) favour the idea with 18% saying they strongly favour it. Just 1% are opposed to publicly-listed companies holding Bitcoin as a reserve asset while 13% are neutral on the subject. Anatoly Crachilov, CEO and Founding Partner at Nickel Digital, said: 'We are witnessing the unfolding stages of a structural shift in corporate treasury management. The growing number of public companies allocating to Bitcoin reflects not speculation, but a strategic response to fiat debasement, balance sheet optimisation, and shareholder alignment. 'What began as a bold outlier move is fast becoming a credible treasury strategy – validated not only by MicroStrategy's high-profile pivot, but also by an expanding cohort of global firms following suit. Institutional investors are clearly anticipating this trend to accelerate, and we believe Bitcoin will increasingly feature as a digital reserve asset in modern corporate finance.'
