Migrant THREATENS Express reporter outside London asylum seeker hotel

An Express investigation has revealed that asylum seekers residing in a central London migrant hotel are blatantly violating Home Office regulations by working illegally as couriers. The flagrant breach of UK immigration laws saw at least ten individuals spotted leaving the asylum hotel with bags from services like Deliveroo, Just Eat, and Uber Eats. When Express reporters attempted to ask the migrants questions, some reacted aggressively, issuing threats of violence. They tried to intimidate us by riding Lime bikes at high speed towards our reporters, warning they’d “smash our heads in.” According to UK immigration law, asylum seekers are not allowed to work for at least a year after their arrival. Lee Anderson of Nigel Farage's Reform UK party reacted to the report saying: “If this is the kind of behaviour British citizens and taxpayers are expected to tolerate in their own communities, then this Labour government has failed them massively. Sadiq Khan has allowed this to happen in our most cherished capital city." Zak Garner-Purkis: Investigations Editor Producer: James Walker Phil Harris: Videographer Steve Bainbridge: Videographer A Home Office Spokesperson said: “Where reports of illegal working or anti-social behaviour are made, immigration enforcement teams in the Home Office investigate. “We are taking action to clamp down on illegal working in all its forms, which is why we are introducing new laws to extend right to work checks for those in the gig economy, including for food delivery drivers.” An Uber spokesperson said: “All couriers who use the Uber Eats app must undergo checks to ensure they have a legal right to work in the UK. Working with the Home Office and the rest of industry, Uber Eats has launched new detection tools to crack down on anyone attempting to work illegally on our platform. As a result, we are removing fraudulent accounts and we are constantly reviewing and improving our processes.” A spokesperson for Deliveroo comments: “We have a dedicated team in place who ensure Deliveroo does not work with riders who don’t have the right to work in the UK. “All riders, including substitutes, must complete right to work checks before onboarding with Deliveroo, which we are robust in monitoring with daily identity verification and most recently, additional checks when a rider logs in using a new device. We prevent riders who are unable to demonstrate a valid right to work in the UK from accessing the platform. “We take our responsibilities extremely seriously and continue to strengthen our controls against misuse of our platform, with further measures in development.” Statement attributable to a Just Eat spokesperson: “Just Eat is committed to being a responsible partner and supporting the local communities we operate in. To uphold this commitment, we set clear standards and requirements for those who deliver on our behalf. “We are continuously strengthening our approach to ensure anyone who delivers through Just Eat’s platform has the right-to-work in the UK. Last year, Just Eat introduced a new mechanism requiring couriers to inform us that they are using substitutes and for these substitutes to complete right-to-work checks. "We have now rolled out the next phase of substitute checks with enhanced biometric verification. Couriers are randomly prompted to complete a facial recognition test, ensuring the individual using the account’s facial data matches the right-to-work documentation held on our system. Any couriers who fail these checks are removed from the Just Eat network. “We welcomed the Government announcement earlier this year to extend right-to-work checks to all industries to tackle illegal immigration. We continue to work with the Home Office on this matter.
