The Mill has seen evidence that the owner of a popular bar in the Northern Quarter secretly filmed himself having sex with a female customer via the bar’s CCTV system. The woman says the video was taken without her consent, which could constitute a criminal offence. Sammy Shonn, the 42-year-old owner of Sammy’s Bar, later showed the video to the woman he had sex with, and sent her screenshots of the encounter, which she shared with us.

Here beneath the Basque sun I am suffering a terrible indignity: I’m on a Flixbus. The people in front of me are talking football. The people across the aisle are talking football. The Spanish driver is talking into the intercom. What’s he talking? Fútbol. The people behind are actually talking politics — the politics of Ruben Amorim’s team selections. We roll around the Bay of Biscay: Bilbao-bound. I feel as though we’ve been travelling for months.

The last thing I'll say is this: I want to publish a lot more investigations like this one. There are so many stories in Greater Manchester that require proper digging and the reason I know that is that we get sent tips and leads every week. My problem is that we only have the resources to pursue a tiny proportion of the stories we get sent. We only have three staff writers, who work incredibly hard to get four great editions into your inbox every week.
