Wish I could say it comes as a massive surprise that there's an overlap between the flag people and suspected fraudsters, but this is great work by the @birminghamdispatch.bsky.social.

The whole Mill team went to Crumpsall yesterday to meet the community affected by yesterday's attack. We spoke with them, and prayed with them - many of whom were so deep in prayer for Yom Kippur, they didn't even know that two people had been murdered just down the road.

Victor Garvey is one of London's biggest chefs; beloved by critics like Giles Coren.

But ex-staff, friends and investors paint a different picture; of bailiffs, mid-restaurant fights and Warhammer 40k fans losing their savings to Garvey.

Our weekend exposé:

He's one of London’s most famous chefs. So why do so many people say Victor Garvey owes them money?
Giles Coren called him his “favourite kind of chef”. But former staff and business partners paint a different picture of the Michelin star winner.

When @molliesimpson.bsky.social started reporting on the strange goings on at the uni of GM, the uni said her allegations were hearsay, presented “under the veil of investigative journalism”.

This week, the vice chancellor of 20 years was suspended.

My amazing colleague @molliesimpson.bsky.social was ploughing a pretty lonely furrow when she started investigating the University of Greater Manchester in January. This morning the story is in the Guardian, Times, Telegraph and BBC.

Incredible work.
