🚨 A sandwich made by a Newcastle-based food company allegedly ended up on sale at a petrol station containing a piece of glass, a court has heard.

Alan George Porthouse and John Joseph Robson were running Seasons, a business based at Foundry Lane Industrial Estate in Ouseburn, when the incident is said to have taken place.

It’s claimed that a coronation chicken sandwich produced by the firm was sold at an Esso garage on Stockton Road near Darlington on January 27 this year.

Porthouse, of Cole Gardens in Wardley, Gateshead, and Robson, of Lawson Close in Byker, were both charged with selling food not of the nature, substance, or quality demanded by the purchaser — a charge they both denied during an earlier hearing at Newcastle Magistrates’ Court.

They also face three further charges of breaching EU food safety and hygiene regulations, along with one count each of failing to comply with a food safety improvement notice.

🚨 A 38-year-old PhD student from Newcastle has been jailed after he was caught in an undercover police operation.

Sarath Sivaji believed he was arranging to meet a 14-year-old boy at Newcastle Central Station, but the person he’d been messaging online was actually a law enforcement officer. When Sivaji arrived at the meeting point in February, police moved in and arrested him.

He appeared at Newcastle Crown Court, where he admitted arranging or facilitating the commission of a child s*x offence. He was sentenced to 30 months in prison and placed on the s*x offenders register. He must also follow a s*xual harm prevention order for 15 years.

Northumbria Police have praised the work of officers who continue to target online predators and keep children safe.

🚨 A 10-year-old boy is fighting for his life in hospital after being struck by a car in Sunderland.

Emergency services were called to Old Mill Road at around 7.50pm on Wednesday following reports of a collision between a car and a pedestrian.

Police say a black Mercedes C-Class travelling southbound hit the child as he was crossing the road. The boy suffered serious injuries and was rushed to Newcastle’s Royal Victoria Infirmary (RVI), where he remains in a critical condition.

🚨 Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul are reportedly close to finalising a deal for a heavyweight clash to be streamed live on Netflix this December.

Paul had originally been set to face lightweight world champion Gervonta Davis in Miami on 14 November, but that fight was scrapped after Davis was accused of kidnapping and battery in a civil lawsuit. Paul’s promotion company, Most Valuable Promotions, pulled the plug on the event, and a search began for a new opponent before the end of the year.

Over the past five years, Paul has carved out a controversial place in boxing, building a 12-1 record with wins over journeymen, ex-MMA fighters and even Mike Tyson, who is 30 years his senior. His planned bout with Davis drew ridicule due to the massive size gap — Paul fights at 200lbs and stands 6ft 1in, while Davis competes around 130lbs and is 5ft 5in tall.

A fight with Anthony Joshua would be an entirely different challenge. The former world champion and 2012 Olympic gold medallist has not fought since his knockout defeat to Daniel Dubois at Wembley in September 2024, but he remains one of the sport’s biggest names and most dangerous heavyweights — determined to reclaim a world title in 2025.

🚨 Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has issued a stark warning that Russia is preparing for a “big war” in Europe by 2029 or 2030.

His comments come as senior defence and intelligence officials across Europe — including in the UK — have urged NATO members to prepare for a potential large-scale conflict, warning that the Kremlin is planning another major land offensive on the continent.

Speaking about the ongoing conflict, Zelensky called for increased international pressure on Russia, saying:

“Given the situation on the battlefield, we don’t see Russia wanting to stop. When we look at their military industry, it’s clear they’re ramping up production — they want to continue this war. Our assessment is that if we push hard, Russia will need a pause. But we must recognise that they are preparing for something much larger — a big war on the European continent around 2029 or 2030.”

🚨 A s*xual predator who arranged to abuse two children has been jailed.

Anthony Crozier, 54, was caught after he began communicating online with someone he believed could give him access to two young children. Unbeknown to him, the person he was speaking to was actually an undercover officer.

Following a joint investigation by the North East Regional Organised Crime Unit (NEROCU) and the Yorkshire and Humber Regional Organised Crime Unit (YHROCU), Crozier was arrested on July 29 and later charged.

During the exchanges, Crozier believed he was speaking with another man who had access to a seven-year-old girl and a young boy, sending disturbing and explicit messages describing the abuse he wanted to carry out.

Thanks to the swift action of officers, Crozier was brought before Durham Crown Court on August 29, where he pleaded guilty to the commission of a child s*x offence and was sentenced to prison.

🚨 A new poll suggests confidence in Keir Starmer’s leadership is dwindling — with 84% of Brits saying they don’t believe he’ll still be in office this time next year, and just 16% thinking he’ll last.

The survey by JOE asked readers whether they expect Starmer to remain prime minister over the next 12 months — and the results weren’t encouraging for the Labour leader.

It comes as rumours of an internal coup continue to swirl. Earlier today, Health Secretary Wes Streeting publicly dismissed claims that he’s leading a leadership challenge against Starmer.

The prime minister’s popularity also appears to be faltering nationwide. A YouGov poll recently found that 73% of the public think Starmer is doing a bad job, while a petition demanding an immediate general election has now surpassed one million signatures — reflecting growing frustration across the country.

🚨 A man has claimed that Royal Mail lost a £10,000 gold bar he intended to use as part of his pension savings. Rob Hobson purchased a 100g gold Britannia bar using money from his late father’s inheritance and later accepted a buyback offer from the Royal Mint, which valued it at £9,731.

However, despite sending the bar via special delivery with added insurance, it never reached its destination. Royal Mail has since launched an investigation, while Devon and Cornwall Police confirmed they are also making inquiries following the report.
