I so love this ❤️❤️❤️. Bizarre moment on a hot Friday night near Waterloo station —told to move from an outdoor bar table at 10pm due to “alfresco dining curfew.” My visitor friend from NYC was baffled. Is this really how we do summer nights in a global city like London? 🤦🏾‍♂️

🔹 Time to Equip Every Officer with a Taser All police officers in England and Wales should be issued a taser — just as they are a baton and PAVA spray. The evidence is clear: tasers increase compliance, reduce harm to both the public and officers, and ultimately save lives.

Thank you Steve Rank Success for a wide ranging discussion covering everything from leadership in policing, race and ethnicity, mental health of officers and of course - the idea of 'politicising of the police' etc. Straight talking common sense alert ⚠️

This chap is on a whopping £650,000 salary, runs an organisation that's nearly £15bn in debt, trains are considered unsafe by women, and another delay has just been announced for delivery of trains (due to design errors🤦🏾‍♂️) Yet 'others' are being blamed for trying to rectify the

I am pleased to see these two by-election results but there is still more for the Conservatives to do. As I have written before, Reform deserves our respect but not our votes. Congratulations to campainers and especially the newly elected Councillors.Great campaigns 💙

I'll be on GB News tomorrow at 10:45am discussing this proposal by the Met Commissioner. Policing faces far greater problems around culture, operational focus, funding, retention of officers and of course - leadership. Mega-forces are not solutions. news.sky.com/story/met-poli…
