general election
as june 8th approaches there are many issues one of the main ones for me is this news
Labour mayor of London Sadiq Khan has warned that future cuts to the Met Police are "unsustainable" and could make it harder to foil terror attack
He said if the Tories win the election the Met faced having to make savings of £400m, risking up to 12,800 officers.
"Fewer police officers mean we are in more danger," he told the BBC.
But his Conservative predecessor Boris Johnson said London police numbers "remained high" and changes to how they operated had made them more effective.
The foreign secretary told the BBC that it was "a bit rich" that Labour were attacking the Conservatives over policing and counter-terrorism, given that its leader Jeremy Corbyn had treated his opposition to anti-terror legislation over 30 years as a "badge of honour".
i can`t believe they can be thinking of more cuts ?
ou might slip, you might slide, you might
Stumble and fall by the road side
But don't you ever let nobody drag your spirit down
Remember you're walking up to heaven
Don't let nobody turn you around
… Walk with the rich, walk with the poor
Learn from everyone, that's what life is for
And don't you let nobody drag your spirit down
