Manchester
MEDIUM · sourced, not yet live-verified
The cited earnings URL has now been fetched (2026-04-30 archive and live 2026-07-28) and contains no pay figure of any kind, so the earlier 'pending live-verification, will return to HIGH' framing is withdrawn: this figure cannot be promoted by fetching, only by finding a Manchester source, and none exists. Inputs previously named in this field have been re-checked and do not support GBP 12.99. Fairwork UK is national and scores fairness 0-10, never pay; its latest UK round is 2023. NimbleFins is dead (nimblefins.co.uk 301s to clearscore.com) and its last capture (20250720004718) gives a national 'between GBP 7-GBP 12 per hour' for Deliveroo, not the GBP 9-15 previously quoted, and contains zero occurrences of 'Manchester'. A third input previously named here was a blocklisted aggregator and has been removed under the project's citation blocklist. GBP 12.99 stands as an undocumented estimate derived from London's own undocumented estimate.
Only HIGH-confidence cities carry a full verification audit. See the methodology for what each tier means.

For app-based delivery, a portion of logged-in time is unpaid waiting; the headline rate reflects engaged time only where regulators have defined it.
