The Mill is an alternative news source based in Manchester. It published a story last week about Sacha Lord, a high-flying entrepreneur who is good mates with Andy Burnham. One of Lord's companies received over £40,000 from a government fund to help the events sector during the pandemic. The Mill's piece questions the validity of this payment, and Lord has instructed his lawyers to sue The Mill unless they take down the piece by tomorrow.
The article attached (which I hope you can open) is an appeal by the editor, Joshi Hermann, for help from its readers. It's a fascinating story in itself, so take some time to read it.
