Robert Jenrick becomes ‘bobby on the beat' as he confronts fare-dodgers on the Tube to highlight lawlessness in London
TOP Tory Robert Jenrick is a 'bobby on the beat' as he confronts fare-dodgers on the Tube.
The Shadow Justice Secretary filmed himself collaring yobs who jumped barriers to highlight brazen lawlessness in London.

Marching up to freeloaders, he demands: 'Do you want to go back and pay like everybody else?'
During the confrontations he is threatened and told to 'f*** off'.
Mr Jenrick said: ' Sadiq Khan is driving a proud city into the ground.
'He's not acting. So, I did.'
His video, viewed nearly five million times, sparked Transport for London to say 'fare evasion is unacceptable'.
Last month, The Sun revealed that Jenrick had been caught plotting to unite the Tories and Reform UK in a leaked tape.
The Tory MP warned that a divided Right would gift Labour a second term, vowing he's 'not prepared' to let Keir Starmer 'sail in through the middle.'
The comments have fuelled fresh speculation that Mr Jenrick – who narrowly lost the leadership contest to Kemi Badenoch – could be positioning himself for another tilt at the top job.
It came despite public denials from both Ms Badenoch and Reform boss Nigel Farage that any deal is on the table before the election.

Top European holiday destination to let British travellers skip lengthy passport queues this summer
HOLIDAYMAKERS heading to Portugal will face shorter airport queues THIS WEEK with Brits able to use e-gates. The sunshine destination will become the first country to allow UK passport holders to use the system since Sir Keir Starmer struck a deal with Brussels. 1 Travellers have had to queue to have their passports stamped when arriving for their break since the UK left the European Union - often leading to long queues. Around 2.5 million people head to Portugal each year with more with 300,000 heading to the Algarve. Around 50,000 Brits live in the country. It has now been confirmed that holidaymakers heading to Faro airport will be able to use the hi-tech system. Europe relations Minister Nick Thomas-Symonds said: "The historic deal that we signed with the EU on May 19 is in our national interests - good for bills, borders and jobs. "It slashes red tape and bureaucracy, boosts British exporters and makes life easier for holidaymakers. "Indeed, I'm delighted to confirm this morning that Faro Airport in Portugal will start the rollout of e-gate access to UK arrivals this week." Only last month, EU relations minister Thomas-Symonds strongly hinted that Brits will face less time waiting at border control. He said: 'I would love to see you being able to go through the border more quickly in that way. 'That's certainly something we've been pushing with the EU and I think that will be something that will be very helpful to British people.' The Prime Minister revealed details of Brits using e-gates during the first summit between Britain and the European Union. But the use of e-gates had to be given the green light by individual countries. The PM came under fire by explicitly saying that ''Brits travelling to Europe will now be able to use e-gates'.

England squad announcement live: Lionesses team for Women's Euros to be named after Millie Bright withdraws
England will name their squad for Euro 2025 today as Lionesses boss Sarina Wiegman tries to put 10 days of carnage behind her and return focus to next month's title defence in Switzerland. That Women's Euros success in 2022 suddenly feels like a long time ago and the recent rollercoaster ride began last week with former No 1 Mary Earps announcing her sudden, and shock, retirement after being informed she would have been a back-up goalkeeper for the tournament. England then impressively beat Portugal 6-0 on Friday night before former stalwart Fran Kirby announced she was retiring from international duty on Tuesday and the Lionesses subsequently crashed out of the Women's Nations League with a 2-1 defeat to Spain that evening. The following day, vice-captain and talismanic centre-back Millie Bright withdrew herself from selection for the Euros, citing physical and mental burnout, to give Wiegman another headache just 24 hours before the Dutch coach confirms her 23-person squad at St George's Park this afternoon. England squad announcement ahead of Euro 2025 - live updates England will name their squad for this summer's Women's Euros at 2pm this afternoon Sarina Wiegman will confirm her 23-person Lionesses group before facing the media at St George's Park England have been stunned by three players pulling out of contention over the past 10 days Goalkeeper Mary Earps and midfielder Fran Kirby both suddenly retired from Lionesses duty before defender Millie Bright withdrew herself from selection as she battles burnout Question marks surround the fitness of winger Lauren James as Wiegman ponders her squad Outplayed and outclassed, England are left searching for answers ahead of their Euros defence You can only ride your luck for so long. If you are up against the best, if you are firmly on the back foot, then eventually you are going to get punished. That was the case for England against Spain. They faced constant aggression, were often penned back in their own half, struggled to go forwards, and, after Claudia Pina came off the bench and turned the tide for the hosts, departed Barcelona with a 2-1 defeat and having missed out on a chance to top their Nations League group. Before Pina's double, England had benefitted from a handful of refereeing decisions, a well-taken Alessia Russo opener and the hosts' lack of final-third ruthlessness, but their performance was not one deserving of a victory. They tried to cling on, but doing so was an impossible test.

On Tuesday night, former Euros winner Fran Kirby announced her international retirement after being informed that she would be missing out on England's 23-player squad for the tournament. The midfielder is the second star player to retire before the Euros, with goalkeeper Mary Earps stunningly deciding to hang up her gloves after losing her starting spot. Add to that, key defender Millie Bright has withdrawn from selection due to mental and physical burnout. Those withdrawals have thrown a spanner into the works but Jamie Braidwood has had a crack at predicting England's 23 for the tournament: Predicting England's Euro 2025 squad after three huge shocks Sarina Wiegman is preparing to name her 23-player squad as the Lionesses embark on their bid for back-to-back Euros Luke Baker5 June 2025 10:19 When is the squad announcement?
