Humiliation for Starmer as Labour MP admits shoplifting increased 13% under his Government

Labour is under increasing pressure to address the stark rise in shoplifting offences.

Labour has admitted there has been a large increase in shoplifting offences under its own rule. Earlier this year, Conservative MP Wendy Morton asked the Home Office what steps it is taking to support police forces in tackling shoplifting and retail crime. In her response, Labour MP Sarah Jones admitted that shoplifting incidents increased by 13% from 2024 to 2025 and charges for shop theft rose by 25%.
