Free to steal
BRITAIN is in the grip of a nightmare shoplifting epidemic.
Police recorded 530,643 offences in the year to March 2025 — a huge 20 per cent rise in just 12 months.

That’s nearly three incidents EVERY MINUTE during typical store opening hours of 9am to 6pm.
Criminals know the chances of being caught — or the police even bothering to turn up — are pitifully low, so are more than happy to take their chances.
And, as with so much that’s wrong in this country, it’s law-abiding taxpayers who get hit in the pocket.
According to retail chiefs, the surge in thefts adds around 6p to every purchase customers make, as they seek to recoup losses topping £1.8billion.
What will enrage the public even more is our investigation today, which shows that some organised shoplifting is now being run from INSIDE asylum hotels.
Gangs of migrants — put up at your expense — are brazenly thieving luxury items from the biggest names on the High Street, worth thousands.
According to our whistleblower, even when they are caught the cops take no action.
They are simply sent back to their accommodation, with no impact on their claims to stay here permanently.
The policy of putting migrants in hotels has been a total disaster.
The inability to stop shoplifters is inexcusable.
Both abject failures paint a depressing picture of a Britain that’s lost the plot.
Taking the rise
THE impact of the disastrous Autumn Budget gets worse by the day.
Jobs are fast disappearing and growth for the last quarter is barely above zero.
Business confidence is on the floor, while costs are rising and household wallets squeezed.
Bosses all blame the same thing for the forced redundancies: Labour’s wealth-destroying National Insurance rise.
Chancellor Rachel Reeves surely realises hitting business isn’t the answer.
She must change course.
You’re joking
AT last the wait is over.
Jeremy Corbyn has officially launched his new political party.
It could be bad news for Keir Starmer as he faces losing left-wing support in Labour’s marginal constituencies.
Hamas-sympathising Corbyn could also hoover up the hardline elements of the pro-Palestinian lobby.
Corbyn’s union-backed band of moaning socialists could end up calling it Your Party.
Given their high-spending madness would bankrupt the country, a more fitting name might be Your Money.
