Stronger and continuous action to curb the escalating scourge of shoplifting and abuse directed at shopworkers is needed.

💬"Retailers are now sick and tired of calling the police because it takes up even more time to report the incident, go through the statement process, capture CCTV, knowing full well that there's no outcome for them" Fed member Priyesh Vekaria featured on BBC Breakfast this morning to discuss his experiences of retail crime and that independent retailers need more support and security. 📈This is reflected in the latest crime figures released by the Home Office which reveal that shoplifting increased by 20% to 530,643 offences last year. 👉Watch the full discussion (from 1:21:00): bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episod…

With the reduced margins, we are slowly being squeezed out of business. This means we may have to reduce the titles we offer, stop our home news delivery service, or worse, stop operating. Consumers pay the price in the end as they get less choice and a reduction of services.

🚨Breaking News: Today the Fed protests against unfair treatment from News UK. Members of the Fed, along with staff are protesting against News UK’s decision to again defer and cut margins paid to members, urging them to think again and reverse their decision. Delegations have arrived at News UK’s London Head Office, Glasgow office and Knowsley Print sites to engage with News UK staff and members of the public to discuss the impact of these decisions in their communities.

We're in London, Glasgow and Knowsley protesting against @NewsUK. Independent retailers need to be paid fairly for selling @TheSun and @thetimes.
The Fed@TheFed_Online

Why are Fed members and staff protesting against News UK? 📈Newspaper prices are going up from July 14 📉BUT publishers are cutting the margins (retailers will earn a lower % rate for each paper sold) 🗓️The Times won’t pay the new rates until January 2026 (retailers will be selling The Times at £3.20 but earnings will still be based on the old cover price) We’re fighting back at unfair treatment

This is most timely and welcomed. @TheFed_Online has been calling for more enforcement for a long time. Everyone deserves to feel safe at work and for their businesses to be protected against criminals.
Home Office@ukhomeoffice

Too many town centres are being disrupted by retail crime, street crime and antisocial behaviour. That’s why, as part of the Safer Streets mission, we’re launching a nationwide summer blitz to: 👮‍♂️ Put more officers on the streets 🛍️ Make high streets safer ❌ Deter offenders

It's worrying to hear that the majority of independent retailers are finding it increasingly difficult to survive as a result of retail crime and illicit trade. They also do not have the resources to increase security efforts in their store. thefedonline.com/homepage/surve…

Disappointed to hear InPost's decision, Independent retailers will miss out on the much needed footfall the over-the-counter service generated. Not all members have the facilities or space to house InPost lockers! thefedonline.com/?p=17160633&pr…

Great to meet @gareththomasMP last week. Thank you for the discussion on the government's efforts to reduce retail crime and the impact of rising National Insurance contributions and increased National Living Wage on small businesses and members of @TheFed_Online.

We sincerely thank @jackiebmsp, @mgoldenmsp, and @MonicaLennon7 for attending our Burns Night Celebration in Glasgow. We discussed the significant rise in retail crime and its ongoing impact on our members. We also highlighted our efforts to secure additional resources to enhance shop security and strengthen collaboration with the police.

On BBC News Scotland about Biffa's green light to sue the Scottish government over recycling scheme. While it's understandable why they did this, let's work together to design a DRS scheme which works for consumers, independent retailers and everyone! #DRS
