A man understood to have appeared as a VIP guest at events linked to Tommy Robinson has held a TikTok Live in which he and other participants allegedly ran a poll asking viewers to vote on whether to urinate or defecate on Henry Nowak’s grave — sparking widespread outrage and calls for a police investigation. The leaked four-minute clip, which has spread rapidly across social media, allegedly features Sikh activist Bobby Singh, who posts under the handle @bobbysinghesq on Instagram, alongside other men on a livestream. According to descriptions of the footage circulated across multiple platforms, the participants mocked the…

David Lammy has defended Labour’s “righteous anger” over George Floyd’s death in 2020 while questioning Nigel Farage’s call for “pure cold rage” following the murder of Henry Nowak — drawing a distinction that critics have immediately seized upon as evidence of exactly the double standard he was attempting to refute. The Deputy Prime Minister and Justice Secretary appeared on Sky News’ Sunday Morning with Trevor Phillips, where he was pressed directly on the apparent contradiction between Labour’s vocal response to Floyd’s killing at the hands of American police and the party’s calls for restraint in the wake of Nowak’s murder…

Britain’s credibility with its allies has been undermined by the government’s failure to publish a promised defence spending plan, while a £6.3 billion tank programme risks producing equipment that may never be fit for use on a modern battlefield, a cross-party committee of MPs has concluded. The public accounts committee, which scrutinises government spending, delivered a damning verdict on the Ministry of Defence’s management of both its strategic planning and its flagship armoured vehicle programme — warning that bureaucratic drift had sent a damaging signal to allies and adversaries alike, while soldiers were being injured by the very tanks they…

Danny Dyer has branded Thomas Tuchel’s decision to leave Jarrod Bowen out of the England World Cup squad “ridiculous,” revealing the families were so convinced of his selection they had been half-booking flights to the United States before the crushing call came through. The former EastEnders star, whose daughter Dani married the West Ham captain just over a year ago, spoke about the double blow facing Bowen — World Cup heartbreak combined with Premier League relegation — on The Wayne Rooney Show. “It’s a double whammy for him, he had a terrible weekend, it’s awful,” Dyer said. “He didn’t get…

A man has been jailed for life after stabbing his friend three times in a luxury London apartment following an argument over debt — then hiding the murder weapon in his waistband, taking a lift to the lobby and hurling the knife from the 14th floor before police could arrive. Fawaz Abdulkareem, 36, was sentenced at Croydon Crown Court on Friday to life imprisonment with a minimum term of 17 years for the murder of Daniel Manuel, 32, who was killed in the early hours of 5 July 2025 at Abdulkareem’s flat in Vauxhall, south London. The two men had…

CBS Sports are in mourning after the death of popular production assistant Bryce Adair, who passed away on Saturday morning at the age of 31 from injuries sustained in a car crash near the PGA Tour’s prestigious Memorial Tournament — an event he had travelled to Ohio to help cover for the network. Adair was rushed to intensive care at Riverside Methodist Hospital on Wednesday night following what has been described as a horrific single-car accident. He died three days later. The nature of his injuries has not been disclosed. The news prompted an outpouring of grief from some of…

At least twelve people have been shot near a beloved summer festival in Toledo, Ohio, after two gunmen opened fire on each other in a crowded public space, leaving victims aged between 14 and 61 fighting for their lives as the shooters remained at large on Saturday night. The shooting erupted just after 5.30pm near the Old West End Festival, an annual community event featuring live music, food markets, a beer garden and activities for children, which had drawn several hundred attendees at the time of the attack. Toledo Police Deputy Chief Joseph Heffernan said at least two shooters were…

The British Army has launched an £18 million crackdown on drug use among its personnel, targeting cocaine, cannabis, steroids and synthetic highs such as spice — after a series of incidents raised serious concerns about the scale of substance misuse within the ranks. The contract has been awarded to Somerset-based firm DNA Workplace, which will analyse up to 125,000 urine samples per year as part of a programme combining random testing with an education initiative on the dangers and consequences of drug use. The Army says testers must be able to provide “accurate details on what substance was used, and…

A tourist has been beaten with truncheons by police on an Ibiza beach after stripping naked, working out in public and then attempting to shadow box the officers who were called to remove him — in the latest incident of extreme tourist behaviour to hit the Spanish island this summer. The extraordinary scenes unfolded on the beachfront promenade in the party resort of San Antonio after police received a flurry of calls from concerned members of the public in quick succession. Callers described the man as “apparently drunk, disturbed and quite agitated, possibly due to the consumption of drugs,” according…

The man who stabbed Henry Nowak to death had threatened a worshipper at his local Sikh temple, launched a campaign of “intimidation, interrogation and bullying” against fellow congregation members and been banned from another gurdwara over his behaviour — all in the months before the murder, it has emerged. Vickrum Digwa, 23, who is serving a life sentence with a minimum of 21 years for the killing of the 18-year-old Southampton University student, was confronted by a community elder at the Gurdwara Guru Tegh Bahadar Sahib in Southampton in May last year after he grabbed a worshipper from behind and…
