Official Labour government press release: "A new agreement between the Home Office and Deliveroo, Just Eat and Uber Eats will ensure delivery firms receive new information concerning the locations of asylum hotels to help tackle illegal working." www.gov.uk/government/n...
Won’t that have the reverse of the desired effect?
I think what Labour mean to say is: "The hotels full of desperate asylum seekers we want you to hate are here, here and here, so if your business is near them you have to be extra vigilant because heaven forbid people who have nothing in the world might earn a few pounds whilst wallowing in misery."
If only someone could find an effective way to prevent these people being exploited and risking their lives, we’d bin a better place. Until then they will inevitably be a political football.
I bet the delivery firms are delighted to hear this…not. Can you imagine the extra work this will create and increased threat of data theft involved?
Gaslighting Hotels with Asylum seekers in so Fascists can can Burn them all alive . Time to boycott Just Eat , Deliveroo & Uber Eats methinks.
Oh ffs....
Can somebody explain to me why Asylum seekers are not permitted to work ?

"We know your lives are shit, because of politicians, but while you think about that we'll make life even shitter for these even poorer people over here". "Bonus - they are forrins." "Bigger bonus - here in Westminster we're doing fine thanks. Salary's good, free clothes even better."
If they are caught working while waiting on an asylum decision it can effectively lead to dismissal of the claim too. So catching people working illegally will result in denied claims and deportation.
It is hard to know which one is being insulted more here, the asylum seekers or the delivery staff.
Pitiful really.
Now make it obligatory for those employers to supply and maintain lights for their workers' bike/scooters and check they are being used
Asylum seekers should be legally permitted to work, and any pressure exerted by government should be fully focused on employers who are exploiting them.
