Shabana Mahmood’s special advisor threatened us with an injunction and two different lawsuits last night in an attempt to block this story linking her to a notorious vote rigging case. I think it’s strongly in the public interest. So here it is. www.birminghamdispatch.co.uk/exclusive-sh...

🚨 NEW: Andrew Milne has been barred from practicing as a solicitor by the Solicitors Regulation Authority and will need oversight by an SRA-approved solicitor in order to work. A spokesperson for the SRA had this to say:

looking back at pics from 2021, when we were a tiny newsroom hard to believe we’re now in six cities — and we’re about to launch @leedsnewlocalpaper.bsky.social! if you wanna be part of it, we’d love your input — you can send us story tips and name ideas here leeds.ghost.io/welcome-to-lee…

in July, the @sheffieldtribune.bsky.social team revealed that Sheffield College was under investigation for exam fraud. now, the college is refusing to acknowledge our FOI requests, keeping us in the dark about information we have the right to ask for.

At long last, we’re launching in Leeds! Ever since I started The Mill, people have asked us to create a publication across the Pennines. If 500 people pledge to become members, we’re going to hire two journalists and do it. Please share with Leeds friends. leeds.ghost.io

We hope David Lipka, who has been fighting for Sheffield Council to install a single bollard for 15 years, is touched by the positive comments on our story about him. It's clear his city is behind him!

We’re launching a new independent newspaper for Leeds - funded by readers. If you want better local journalism in Leeds, this is how it starts. 👉 Pledge your support: leeds.ghost.io

exciting news: @sheffieldtribune.bsky.social is now on whatsapp! send us tips and your thoughts on what we should be investigating directly — all messages will be treated in confidence wa.me/447770892597

🏆 Huge congrats to @molliesimpson.bsky.social , named the Rising Star by Women in Journalism. “A major @manchestermill.bsky.social investigation into the University of GM which resulted in a police investigation into alleged financial irregularities regarding suspected fraud and bribery.”

William Morris, chair of @uni-greatermcr.bsky.social’s board – the most influential person at the university - has resigned It comes after we reported a curious arrangement in which his wife Baroness Morris runs a company that has charged the university millions manchestermill.co.uk/first-the-vi...

I have been so disappointed by the lack of urgency and transparency displayed by the universities watchdog. Allegations of impropriety at the University of Greater Manchester surfaced months ago after @manchestermill.bsky.social reporting, so why has a formal investigation only just been launched?

thanks to @alphaville.ft.com for selecting our investigation into Andrew Milne as one of the best non-FT pieces of journalism of the year www.ft.com/content/72d0...

🏆 We won a British Journalism Award! The judges said @molliesimpson.bsky.social's investigation into the University of Greater Manchester is a "first-class piece of investigative reporting by a journalist who would not be thrown off the trail".

🥳🥳🥳

Congratulations to the Local Journalism award winners @molliesimpson.bsky.social @joshih.bsky.social @manchestermill.bsky.social for an investigation into the University of Greater Manchester #BJA2025

Two Mill investigations have been followed up by the national press this week. Thanks to @theguardian.com for crediting our reporting on both without needing to be prompted. It’s because of our paying members that we can do impactful journalism like this, which holds local authorities to account.

Our campaign ends ON SUNDAY! We’re on 664 new members, on our way to our 1000 target 🎯. Please join up now and spread the word 🙏 manchestermill.co.uk/lp-1/

A solicitor, Andrew Milne has been bullying leaseholders across Sheffield into paying him extraordinary sums, with no legal basis. Why hasn't the SRA stopped him? Because he's conducted an extraordinary campaign against the SRA. 180 complaints. Two judicial reviews. More here: buff.ly/LmLVegM

These are our six campaign pledges - the things we will do next year if we manage to add 1,000 new members. They were chosen by our readers because they’re things we believe will make Manchester better. Share them and join the campaign 🙏 manchestermill.co.uk
