Liz Truss’s ‘cunning police plan’ gets absolutely destroyed

One senior police source described the policy as "incoherent shi*t", according to Lizzie Dearden from the Independent.

Liz Truss has pledged to publish police league tables while asking forces to slash serious crime by 20 per cent if she wins the race for No 10.

The Tory leadership hopeful also said she wants police to “spend their time investigating real crimes”.

If she becomes prime minister at the beginning of September, Ms Truss said her Government would tell police to cut homicide, serious violence and neighbourhood crime by a fifth by the end of this parliament.

The Commons Public Accounts Committee recently warned that the Home Office faces “significant challenges” in hiring another 6,500 officers by next March to reach the Conservative manifesto target of 20,000.

MPs on the powerful committee criticised the programme’s focus so far “on getting people through the door” without setting out how the new officers’ impact on crime will be assessed.

Here she is talking about it.

The Daily Express led with the headline: “No ifs or buts… police must solve more crimes.”

For a finale she’s going to tell the NHS to ‘cure more people!’ No ifs, no buts. Such foresight! Such genius!

Forgive my ignorance, but I sort of always assumed the police had a target to cut murder by 100% already… https://t.co/mJ7USJtTpq

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.
