They have put the blame for difficult trading down to Brexit and the potential terror threat.

Hamleys is the world’s oldest toy retailer and was forced to shut some of its branches recently. They ceased trading entirely across three markets – Sweden, Denmark and Norway.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
