🚨 Exclusive: Sacha Lord’s lobbying group forced to hand back £35,000 grant after making false claims

The night time economy body pulled the project yesterday after we approached them.

Exclusive by @jackdulhanty and @ophiragottlieb.

Extraordinary story: @ManchesterMill reveals that the former vice chancellor of Greater Manchester uni, Prof George Holmes, was arrested yesterday on suspicion of witness intimidation. That’s him leaving the police station.

@molssimp scoop.

So pleased to be shortlisted in the Politics category at the British Journalism Awards for our reporting on Burnham and Manchester.

And incredibly proud that my @millmediauk colleagues have SIX nominations, mixing it with some very big news companies.

The George Holmes news is everywhere now - @ManchesterMill being credited in @guardian, @thetimes, @BBCNews. I highly recommend following @molssimp for more in the months ahead - her investigation is having staggering results.

[The Mill @ManchesterMill]

NEW: George Holmes has responded to the news that he was sacked as the University of Greater Manchester’s longtime vice chancellor with a statement that his solicitor has asked us to publish in full.

Our story has been updated to reflect Holmes' comment https://t.co/GfmCvAenzA

20 years in post and then @molssimp shows up

[Joshi Herrmann @joshi]

We’ve just published our election-eve interview with @bevcraig.

She’s very different to Burnham - more comfortable with detail, less comfortable making TikToks and selling a big vision. She’s also the strong favourite to succeed him.

@O0milkT @lancekthompson @abi_whist @liverpoolpost so sorry to hear about your loss, barry turvill was a lovely man <3

[mollie simpson @molssimp]

my colleagues @lancekthompson and @abi_whist are looking to add 100 new paying members to @liverpoolpost in the next five days to help them pay a £75,000 legal bill from defending a case brought by historian Laurence Westgaph

help them hit their target https://t.co/W6J81DGTRW

[mollie simpson @molssimp]

@abi_whist @liverpoolpost @millmediauk @joshi miss you already <3

[Abi Whistance @abi_whist]

Can’t believe I’m saying this. But this week has been my last at the incredible @liverpoolpost ❤️

The best team in the world, the best paper in the world, the best city in the world. Forever grateful to @millmediauk & @joshi

[Joshi Herrmann @joshi]

Wow. Burnham invited Sacha Lord to No10, the guy who:

1) snaffled £400k of taxpayers' money for his company by lying about what it did
2) was forced to resign as Burnham's advisor when @ManchesterMill exposed it
3) hasn't repaid the money because the company somehow went bust

[Joshi Herrmann @joshi]

I’m staggered that Burnham has promised to end rough sleeping across the country. It was his biggest promise when he became mayor of Greater Manchester and he didn’t come close. Here are the numbers, as revealed by @ManchesterMill last month.

[Laurence Thompson @lancekthompson]

Last month, The Post defended ourselves in court against Laurence Westgaph.

Had we lost, the precedence set for journalism could have been catastrophic.

The good news for press freedom is that we won — but at a £75,000 cost.

Help us get it back: https://t.co/fV3ucPobkm
