No wonder the Prime Minister is out with a defensive newspaper article on crime today.
The Conservative record is appalling: here’s a reminder of some of the lows 👇
On the Home Secretary’s watch thousands of police crime records were mistakenly deleted, risking criminals going free and denying victims justice: news.sky.com/story/criminal…
The Conservatives have overseen an appalling collapse in rape convictions, with a fall to a record low in 2020: bbc.com/news/uk-535887…
Antisocial behaviour can make lives a misery and it is affecting millions more people under the Conservatives: mirror.co.uk/news/politics/…
Crime can not only be devastating for the lives of victims, it also costs the economy a fortune. Under the Conservatives the cost of crime to the economy rockets by £36bn in just five years: mirror.co.uk/news/politics/…
Under the Conservatives criminals have never had it so good.
@UKLabour has a plan for address violent crime, putting more police on our streets and victims at the heart of the criminal justice system.
Not everyone will have read the horror show that is the cross-party @CommonsPAC report on the Home Office - after 10 years of Tory control - so here are some of the low-lights: (1/6)

The Home Office has “no idea of what impact it has achieved for the £400 million spent each year by its Immigration Enforcement” (3/6)
