The complicated bit is proving they've broken employment law.

I assume that he means working here without a visa (when required),

Indeed.

not some minutiae of the WTD

That ought to be **** easy

Perhaps there's a job for you in the Immigration police, as they appear
to be pretty bad at catching up with (eg) kitchen staff if ethnic
restaurants working cash in hand and sleeping on a mattress on the
floor, in a cupboard under the stairs. And when they do catch up, they
often have no papers, so can't be identified.

Are many of such staff EU citizens? If not, then it's unrelated to
continuing to allow EU citizens to use ePassport gates at UK airports.

Perhaps a bad example then. Working in the kitchen at a cafe or pub etc
etc.

To be working illegally like that would mean they were earning
significantly less than the minimum wage. I wonder how many EU
citizens are prepared to do that?

What's minimum wage in Lithuania?

Irrelevant. They'd be living here, with UK costs, and trying to send
money home, harder now that the £ is weaker. And the standard of
living isn't all that low in Lithuania.
