One of the top stories today is the analysis by consumer champion Which? which found that scammers are using social media to commit identity fraud. According to the report, fraudsters are using the X social media platform to target customers of major airlines by pretending to be official accounts. This has raised concerns about the security measures and enforcement actions of social media platforms.
The rise in unemployment in the UK has also been a major issue, with the country seeing the biggest increase among OECD countries since the start of the year. The North West, West Midlands, and London have been the hardest hit regions, with the TUC reporting a decrease in job vacancies and real wages still lower than they were in 2008. The TUC is calling for change and urging the next government to make fighting fraud a national priority.
