Illegal working undercuts wages and exploits the vulnerable.
That’s why our Immigration Enforcement teams are tackling it head-on.
With arrests already up 51%, we’re now launching a nationwide blitz targeting delivery riders and illegal working hotspots.

Today at 10am , we'll hear from @MarksAndSpencer @CoOpUK @RUSI_org @NCCGroupplc @NCA_UK @NCSC @PoliceChiefs and Prof Ciaran Martin as we explore the cyber-security threats facing UK businesses of all sizes
£300m lost in a cyber‑attack on M&S isn’t a glitch; it’s a warning.
Today at @CommonsBTC, I asked @marksandspencer Chair Archie Norman:
Shouldn’t the public and private sectors wargame these threats before they become economic catastrophes?
