llegal migrant scandal exposed as Deliveroo and Just Eat chaos shames Keir Starmer

EXCLUSIVE: Despite a crackdown on courier jobs, our undercover investigation
still found people willing to find small boat migrants work delivering takeaways.

'Keir Starmer’s crackdown on asylum seekers working as delivery drivers is failing to stop
criminals using social media to sell courier accounts to illegal migrants, an undercover
Express investigation has found.

Posing as the relative of a small boat migrant living in a Home Office hotel our reporter
was able to secure multiple offers of illegal work through Facebook adverts and was even
granted access to a courier account so his asylum seeker ‘cousin’ could deliver goods.

Those cashing in on the migrant black market openly bragged about bypassing facial recognition
checks and touted for business in 40,000-strong online communities.  Reform UK MP Lee
Anderson claimed the investigation's findings were “damning proof that Starmer’s Labour
government has zero intention of stopping illegal migration. “It’s way too easy for illegal
migrants to walk straight into cash-in-hand jobs, which acts as a blazing neon welcome
sign to migrants in Calais,” he added.

Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp said it “beggared belief” that such practices were still
going on nearly six months after the government summoned fast food couriers Deliveroo,
JustEat and Uber Eats to Downing Street and set them a 90 day deadline to end illegal
working on their platforms. “Labour promised a crackdown, but it’s clear illegal immigrants
are still exploiting loopholes. The Labour Government must get a grip,” he said.

During the summer, the Express exposed how asylum seekers were brazenly being employed
as couriers despite not having the legal right to work and spoke to legitimate drivers whose
earnings were being slashed. Yet within minutes of contacting sellers in delivery driver
Facebook groups, who were offering to rent Deliveroo, JustEat, UberEats and Stuart accounts,
we were inundated with work opportunities.

Five different individuals confirmed in messages that they were willing to sell account access
to an illegal migrant they knew didn’t have the right to work. One was Akash Verma from
Southall, West London, who told our undercover reporter an asylum seeker could use a
Deliveroo account set up in his wife’s name for £50 a week.

He claimed to be circumventing the platform’s facial recognition system - that uses selfie
photos to catch out false identities - by having workers drop by his house to scan his wife’s
face, which wasn’t a problem as “they only ask twice a day” for a picture. Verma’s social
media posts suggested he was renting accounts on multiple platforms and earning hundreds
of pounds a week. He did not respond to our repeated requests for comment.

Edinburgh-based Asim Malik, who was selling access to a Stuart courier account in central
London for a £50 weekly fee, allowed our undercover reporter to log in to his profile, so a
man he believed was an illegal migrant could begin work.

Within minutes of gaining access to the account, our reporter was inundated with offers to
deliver goods for major supermarkets and high-street retailers. We then discovered the
details attached to the profile were for a woman, not Malik. When we confronted Malik
about his actions, he claimed to be unaware that it would be “illegal,” and when pressed
on the account being in someone else’s name, he ended our video call.

A third man, Amir Jemel, agreed to rent his JustEat account for £80 a week to an illegal
migrant, first by text message and then in person with our undercover reporter. Jemel,
however, failed to show for a final meeting to exchange the account. When we reached
him by phone, he initially claimed he “didn’t realise” it was illegal, but eventually admitted
“I did a mistake” in making the arrangement... (More In Link)
