An XMM-Newton observation of the western radio lobe of Fornax A has cast doubt on previous interpretations of the X-ray emission as inverse Compton scattered cosmic microwave background radiation. Imaging and spectroscopy both support a thermal origin for at least part of the detected X-ray emission. However, analysis of the XMM-Newton data is complicated by a significant level of background flaring. We will present a new analysis of the X-ray data, paying careful attention to removal of background. Implications of these results for the radio lobe and its group environment will be discussed.
