Thousands of job cuts are expected at Jaguar Land Rover (JLR), a year after a cyber attack brought car production to a halt for more than a month.

The company did not confirm the numbers but the Times reported as many as 4,000 jobs may be lost due to the impact of tariffs and a drop in sales.

Business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds told the BBC’s Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg that when he meets the bosses of JLR and the Unite union to discuss the impact of the job losses early next week, they would focus on ways to “mitigate” the cuts.

JLR employs around 30,000 people in its UK operations and said in July that fewer than 300 people would leave the firm under cost savings plans announced at the time.

It’s the latest example of an influencer’s digital persona disintegrating before our eyes. For several years, Angel Victoria Murdock has been portraying a life of self-made success, from real estate deals to a watchalong student experience at Duke University.

She curated hundreds of thousands of followers and even appeared on reality show Temptation Island – only, the majority of her online life appears to have been fabricated.

After being outed by real graduates of the programme she claimed to attend, Murdock’s profile has gone dark. On this episode, we examine her case, and the long line of predecessors who have leveraged a fake identity on social media.

Also this week, as long-time internet provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos cries foul over his deportation from the US, Matt and Marianna consider what his downfall tells us about the state of social media.

A man who forged a career from controversy, they discuss why the splintered conservative community may have united in abandoning him, and how cancel culture is evolving.
