The Guardian has learned that talks between the ECB and KP are at an advanced stage over a contract that will see snack brands such as Hula Hoops, McCoys, Tyrells and Butterkist promoted on players’ shirts for another four years.

Cancer patient fears dying without justice as tribunal date repeatedly delayed

IT technician Joe Mezgebe arrived at unfair dismissal hearing to find no judge available – for the second time

A disabled man with prostate cancer has had his employment tribunal for unfair dismissal postponed the day before it was due to take place because a judge was not available – 13 months after exactly the same thing happened.

Joe Mezgebe, an IT technician, who first presented his claim against Christ’s College, Finchley academy in June 2021, has lost £15,300 in fees to his barrister as a result of the cancellations, and fears he may not live to see justice done.
