There has been a decline in their strength within the Metropolitan Police Force, amounting to a reduction of 18.5 per cent – from 4,373 in 2020 to 3,688 in 2021.
The Mayor has no mandate for this irresponsible move. It was not in his Manifesto. Let’s put the power back in the hands of Londoners.
London needs at least 66,000 new homes a year, whilst the current mayor’s plan only sets a target of 52,000 – a target he is failing to meet.
The Conservatives need a voice that is strong on our core principles of tackling crime and eliminating waste, but is also positive about building new homes and inspiring social cohesion.
What I saw at this year’s conference makes me more confident than ever that the Conservatives can break through to black and minority ethnic voters.
