Current UK (currentuk.co.uk) is an independent digital news publication that provides clear, practical reporting on politics, business, technology, world affairs and UK public life. Our mission is to deliver trustworthy journalism that helps readers understand complex issues without spin or clickbait. Every article is drafted by a named writer, reviewed by an editor and fact-checked before publication.
Who is responsible for Current UK?
Current UK is owned and operated by Sliema Media Limited, a company registered with the Malta Business Registry under number C 84217. Its registered office is at Level 3, Tower Business Centre, Tower Street, Swatar, Birkirkara, BKR 4013, Malta (main line: +356 2779 4100; UK editorial line: +44 20 4587 9485).

What does Current UK cover?
Current UK reports on UK politics, business, technology, world affairs and public-interest stories that matter to our readers. We cover Westminster and Whitehall, the economy and markets, tech policy and innovation, international relations, and the issues shaping British public life.
Our coverage is designed to be accessible without oversimplification. We avoid clickbait headlines and partisan framing, aiming instead to give readers the context and evidence they need to form their own conclusions.
How do we ensure our journalism is trustworthy?
Every article on Current UK is produced through a structured editorial process. A named writer drafts the piece, an editor reviews it, and our Standards & Fact-Checking Lead, Diane Forbes, oversees verification before publication. This process is set out in detail in our Editorial Policy and Fact-Checking Policy.
We also publish clear correction and complaint procedures. If we make a mistake, we correct it promptly and transparently. Our Corrections Policy and Complaints Procedure explain how readers can raise concerns.
AI-assisted tools may support research, editing, formatting, translation, metadata, headline options, summaries and transcription, but they never replace human editorial judgement. All published content is reviewed and approved by a human editor. Full details are in our AI & Automation Policy.
How is Current UK funded and how do we maintain independence?
Current UK is funded through display advertising, affiliate links, commercial partnerships, sponsored content, newsletter sponsorships and content licensing. All sponsored or commercial material is clearly labelled, and affiliate links are disclosed. Commercial relationships never determine editorial conclusions.
We publish a full Advertising & Affiliate Disclosure and a detailed Ownership & Funding page. Our readers can see exactly who owns us, how we are financed, and how we separate editorial decisions from commercial interests.
