A public inquiry into the 1997 killing of Robert Hamill in Portadown, County Armagh, has concluded that while there was no collusion between loyalist paramilitaries and the Royal Ulster Constabulary (RUC), significant police failures occurred. The report detailed RUC omissions and a lack of urgency in investigating the fatal sectarian assault.
Metropolitan Police officers confiscated ninety vehicles, collectively valued at over £8 million, during a weekend operation targeting motoring offences in central London. The seizures included a rare Ferrari worth £3.7 million.
The UK Statistics Authority has criticised Sir Keir Starmer, the Ministry of Defence, and the Wales Office for repeatedly using a misleading figure regarding defence spending. The Labour leader's claim of an additional £270 billion for defence has been deemed inaccurate, failing to account for inflation and implying new funds.
