On May 5, 2024, the X account @sh*tlondon posted a photo of gridlocked traffic on a British motorway and said it showed people fleeing London to escape sharia law after Labour politician Sadiq Khan won a third successive term as the city's mayor. The caption read: "Incredible scenes as people flee London after Khan's victory. However, the original post was not a factual recounting of real-life events.

It was used in news articles in The Guardian and Mail Online, and a similar image appeared on stock photography agency Alamy's website that same day.

BRIGHTON, England (AP) — Joao Pedro scored an 87th-minute winner as Brighton beat Aston Villa 1-0 in the Premier League on Sunday. Victory for Brighton ended its six-match winless run in the league and also dented Villa's bid to secure a top-four finish. Fourth-place Villa travelled to the Amex Stadium knowing a win would have secured Champions League qualification next season if Tottenham lost to Liverpool later in the day. Brighton was seeking only a fourth league win in 2024 and its only goal in its last five league outings was an own goal by Burnley goalkeeper Arijanet Muric in a 1-1 draw three weeks ago. While Pedro’s initial effort was kept out by Olsen, the ball looped up kindly for the Brazil forward to head in.

A recent investigation and subsequent raid of various locations belonging to international e-commerce platform Pandabuy has led to the seizure of millions of suspected counterfeit goods and the detention of 30 associated individuals.

This investigation further emphasises the need for brand owners to have a robust anti-counterfeiting strategy in place to help protect and enforce their valuable rights.
