HMICFRS report shows need for return to community policing
Responding to HM Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire & Rescue Services (HMICFRS) State of Policing report, Liberal Democrat Home Affairs Spokesperson Alistair Carmichael MP:
Sadly, this report confirms what we already knew. The Conservatives have trashed our justice system, from decimating frontline policing to ignoring the courts backlog.
Too many people feel like justice is out of reach when they’re a victim of a crime. Public trust in our very institutions is at stake. The Home Secretary must commit to a return to community policing without delay.
Softened windfall tax shows Government doesn’t care
Responding to the news that Jeremy Hunt will soften the energy windfall, Liberal Democrat Leader Ed Davey MP said:
The families and businesses still suffering so much from high energy bills will not forget the failure of the Conservatives to tax the windfall profits of the oil and gas companies properly.
This out of touch Government has shown yet again that it doesn’t care about people struggling just to get by, or the small business clinging on.
This energy tax failure ranks as one of Rishi Sunak’s biggest personal failures as Chancellor and Prime Minister.
