A slew of Australian comedians have put their former management, Junkyard Artists, on blast after the director of the company allegedly “swindled” its talent and ghosted them.

Earlier this week, comedians who were previously affiliated with Junkyard Artists took to their Instagram accounts to call out the company with a series of allegations including unpaid invoices.

Bradley Wiggins has revealed that he has been offered financial aid from a somewhat unexpected source – former cycling legend turned disgraced drug cheat Lance Armstrong. 

Wiggins, who won a previous national record eight Olympic gold medals, was one of the greatest cyclists ever produced by Great Britain, winning titles on both the track and the road across his career. 

Despite his success on the track, though, a company controlled by Wiggins was reported to have debts totalling around £1million, and after failing his individual voluntary agreement (IVA) to pay back the money he owed, was declared bankrupt. 

The former cyclist was reportedly left homeless and said to be sleeping at various addresses including that of his ex-wife, and…

In response, the Labour spokesperson said the council’s financial difficulties followed “14 years of Conservative austerity that saw £1bn of funding taken from our city”.

However, they accepted the council needed to improve.

“We have buckled down and brought in greater efficiencies, tighter financial control and are transforming our services fit for the future,” they said.

“We continue our work to transform the council and put it back on the path to financial stability whilst protecting the services that matter most to the people of Birmingham.”

The new Labour government would bring forward plans for “sustainable long-term funding for councils”, the spokesperson added.

This paradigm shifted with the introduction of the IBC, which provided a much-needed mechanism to address insolvency issues in a time-bound and efficient manner. Passed in May 2016, it has played a transformative role in the Indian economy.

At the time of its enactment, we were grappling with a twin balance sheet crisis, where banks’ non-performing assets (NPAs) were hovering close to 12%. This resulted in the choking of fresh credit, the jet fuel for any economy, stalling economic growth.

The IBC emerged as the lighthouse of a new era, resulting in what J. Nariman eloquently paraphrased John Milton to call a “defaulter’s Paradise Lost.”
