Portugal One Step Closer to Relaunching Sale of State-Owned TAP
Portugal is moving closer to relaunching the sale of state-owned airline TAP SA after a prior attempt was derailed in 2023. The government has received two independent reports on the estimated valuation of TAP, a key step before it can move ahead with the privatization of the carrier. Lender Banco Finantia submitted its report last week, according to two people familiar with the process, as did accounting firm Ernst & Young.

Princess Diana's favourite café risks closure over ‘illegal migrant workers and paying staff in food'
A favourite café of Princess Diana could be forced to close after it was accused of illegally hiring migrants, paying employees in only food, and allowing the unlawful smoking of shisha. Café Diana, which was named in honour of the former Princess of Wales, could lose its licence, after the Home Office applied for a review, with a hearing set to take place on Thursday. Diana and her sons, Prince William and Prince Harry, quickly became regulars at the café, which is near to Kensington Palace in west London, after she made her first visit within days of its opening in 1989. Café owner, Abdul-Basit Daoudr Daoud, recalled the princess's visits after her death. 'She started coming more often, bringing the kids here sometimes for breakfast. The kids used to take breakfast, like English breakfast. Herself, she used to have cappuccino, cake, some croissants, something like this. But she sometimes had English breakfast too,' he said, according to The Times. Shortly before she died in 1997, according to the paper, the princess sent a letter to him, reading: 'I wanted to write personally, to thank you so very much for the beautiful flowers you sent for my birthday.' Café Diana now has dozens of photographs of the princess plastered over its walls, including one given by Diana as a present, and has become a popular tourist spot. But the business is facing the prospect of having its licence revoked after the Home Office said seven illegal employees were found working there between September 2019 and December 2024, who were from countries such as Egypt and Albania, according to a report published by inspectors from Kensington and Chelsea council. In interviews, some of these workers claimed they were 'paid in food' rather than money. Inspectors said this 'raises concerns about labour exploitation taking place at the premises', the report added. It is also alleged that, in May this year, a number of customers were discovered smoking shisha in the basement area of the café. Officers seized 45 unlabelled tubs of shisha tobacco. Mr Daoud told officers that he oversaw the recruitment process, including checking the right-to-work and immigration status of new employees. He said that members of staff were paid in cash, and admitted that some received free food in exchange for working at the café. The report stated: 'Café Diana has been found employing illegal workers. This business has clearly failed to meet the prevention of crime and disorder and public safety objectives.' Previously, the company running the café was ordered to pay a £135,000 civil penalty in April after it was found to illegally be employing three migrants, according to the report. In a letter to the council, lawyers for Café Diana's owners said: 'Immediately upon becoming aware of the reported issues, the licensee took swift and decisive action to evict the tenant responsible for the unauthorised activities.' In the report, the café has suggested that a three-month suspension could be implemented, during which time it said it would ensure right-to-work immigration checks are done for all members of staff. A ruling will be made by the licensing committee of the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea on Thursday. The Independent has contacted Café Diana for comment.

David Murray tarnished Rangers legacy and naive fans falling for Peter Lawwell nonsense must remember one thing
Record Sport's Keith Jackson isn't buying the narrative being pushed in Sir David Murray's new book. And neither are today's Hotline callers. Our chief sports writer has taken a swipe at the former Rangers owner's claims he was duped over the sale of the club to Craig Whyte in 2011. Advertisement READ MORE: I asked Sir David Murray something straight out about Rangers 15 years ago and we haven't spoken since – Keith Jackson READ MORE: 16 Celtic stars yet to report back for pre-season training as fringe men aim to catch the eye And Lewis Fotheringham, Mount Ellen, reckons Jacko was spot on with his assessment, saying: 'I have got to praise Keith Jackson's very personal column regarding David Murray. 'Murray says that he cared deeply about Rangers, but selling the club to Craig Whyte has tarnished whatever legacy he had. "This very action led to our eventual demise which we have never truly recovered from, despite that league title in 2021. Murray is as much to blame for our downfall as Whyte is." Advertisement And Liam Birney, Paisley, took issue with the former Ibrox chairman's blast at Celtic chief Peter Lawwell: 'So some Rangers fans are falling for the nonsense that Murray is spouting about Peter Lawwell doing Rangers a wrong. 'Can I remind them all it was under his tenure as Chairman that EBTs were used and that when he sold the club to Whyte for a quid, they were well down the road to liquidation. Also, is it not a Rangers or Celtic objective to bury their biggest rivals? Take some responsibility David!' Meanwhile, Lawrence Shankland's future remains up in the air after he skipped the flight to Hearts' pre-season training camp. But Alan Flett said: 'I'm sick fed-up of hearing that Rangers should sign Shankland. He's no better than what we've already got. Lawrence Shankland in action for Hearts 'I'd have Cyriel Dessers over Shankland every day of the week. Michael Beale, Philippe Clement and now Russell Martin have had the opportunity to sign Shankland and none of them did. Doesn't that tell you something?' Advertisement Regular caller Gordon Ashley ruffled a few feathers with his swipe at Hamza Igamane's potential transfer value. George Wilson, West Sussex, said: 'Rangers-obsessed Gordon Ashley apart from seemingly having insider knowledge about the potential sale of Hamza Igamane says Celtic play at a higher level in Europe. 'Unfortunately they have been a total embarrassment and regularly humiliated in Europe for the last 25 years. 'Last season they suffered several more Champions League hidings and only won three out of 10 games against the absolute worst three side out of 36 teams in the competition. 'Rangers on the other hand played Nice, Lyon, Spurs, Man Utd, Fenerbahce and Athletic Bilbao, who were collectively better than most of the dross Celtic faced.' Advertisement Alfie Mullin, London, added: 'Gordon Ashley claims that Celtic get higher transfer fees than Rangers do for their players because they play at a higher level in Europe. I suggest he replace the word 'play' with the word 'lose'.' Michael Emonds took aim at another called: 'Once again Jimmy Murray shows his ignorance in his understanding of the Celtic business model - which is to buy players for the right money, improve them and sell at a profit. 'He says the answer is scrap the model and sack serial winner John Kennedy and coach Gavin Strachan, get in new coaches to bring the young players through. 'But he doesn't understand that's the job of the pathway manager, who until recently was Darren O'Dea, who has just left for Swansea City and was last week replaced by Shaun Maloney. So let's see how many hopefuls he can get through the ranks.'
