Nine Lorry Loads Stolen Every Day in Britain and the Government Still Won’t Give Freight Crime Its Own Police Code

NaVCIS logged 3424 HGV cargo crime incidents in 2025, nine a day across a network that has no dedicated police crime code for any of it. A driver parks a loaded curtainsider at a layby off the A5 because there is nowhere else to stop, and by morning the load is gone. The loss gets recorded as theft from a vehicle, the same category that covers a smashed car window in a supermarket car park. Mike Dawber, a NaVCIS field intelligence officer, put the direct cost at £65.1 million for the year. He also said the real figure would more likely…

Cristiano Ronaldo’s World Cup dream stays still alive as Luka Modric bows out

Portugal survived a wild, sprawling finish in Toronto to edge Croatia 2-1 and reach the last 16, a night defined by Cristiano Ronaldo’s first-ever World Cup knockout goal, Gonçalo Ramos’ late header, and a dramatic VAR intervention that denied Josko Gvardiol a stoppage‑time equaliser. Croatia had led through Ivan Perisic and looked the sharper side for long stretches, but Portugal’s response and the officiating that followed, swung the contest and kept Ronaldo’s final World Cup alive. Luka Modric, 40 and almost certainly at his last tournament, walked off with the opposite fate. Croatia strike first The opening half offered little beyond…

Starmer issues apology on forced adoptions, but Labour still failing families

British prime minister Keir Starmer issued an apology on Thursday July 2 for the state’s role in forced adoptions over multiple decades. It rings hollow, however, given the man anti-poverty campaigners christened ‘Kid Starver’ continues to fail British families. Forced adoption is the practice of taking a child from parents without their full consent, and transferring that child to a foster family. The British state funded the system which between 1949 and 1976 resulted in the forced adoption of 185,000 children. It was often mothers who had given birth outside of marriage who were victims of the cruel practice. Social norms…

Even whilst under investigation, Farage is still shilling for his crypto-billionaire benefator

Even whilst under investigation, Farage is still shilling for his crypto-billionaire benefator

Even whilst he’s under investigation for taking an undeclared £5m ‘gift’ from crypto billionaire Christopher Harborne, Nigel Farage is still attempting to block a new cryptocurrency plan at the Bank of England (BoE). Something which could obviously hurt his biggest donor’s bottom line. Harborne is part-owner of Tether Limited Inc. The company issues the eponymous cryptocurrency stablecoin ‘Tether’. Because Tether’s value is pegged to that of the US dollar, it allows users to trade their cryptocurrency for real-world money and vice versa. This fact makes it the most popular cryptocurrency in the world. Nevertheless, Tether Limited’s profits actually fell somewhat over…

Shameful DUP still defends decision to stand with pro-genocide protestors

Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) politicians have maintained they were correct to stand alongside masked men who hurled racist and sectarian abuse at a peaceful pro-Palestine march. MP for Upper Bann, Carla Lockhart, incongruously claimed that she showed “real leadership” by joining a 300-strong pro-genocide mob, which jeered relentlessly metres away from the roughly 1,500-strong Palestine-backing contingent. The latter were taking part in the Great March for Gaza, an event raising money for Palestinians still being murdered by Israeli Occupation Forces. Part of the march on 6 June passed along a towpath beside the largely unionist town of Scarva, prompting hostility from…

Israel is still burning families in Gaza

While the world’s attention has moved onto other horrors, Israel continues to bomb Gaza and burn families. The so-called ‘ceasefire’ is just a curtain to hide its atrocities. As the people of Gaza tried to survive another night last night, Israel continued to bomb the open-air concentration camp it has created: View this post on Instagram A post shared by Ibrahim Nazmii (@ibrahim_nazmii) At least nine people were killed and many more injured in four separate bombings. The attacks created horrors that are all too familiar – civilians burning in bombed buildings, including children, despite heroic attempts to help: View this…
