Whistleblowers from Mitie submitted a dossier alleging Islamophobic comments at work, antisemitic and misogynistic social media likes, and a senior staff member’s like of a far-right post about London becoming a Muslim city. Mitie is investigating; the Home Office said the allegations are a matter for the contractor. The latest claims follow a 2022 apology by Mitie for racist WhatsApp posts and a 2025 investigation into a racist radio message broadcast at the Manston asylum processing centre.
