Nick Thomas-Symonds tells Labour conference he will not take money away from police forces
The Conservatives were accused of “defunding the police” through a decade of cuts in a speech on Tuesday by the shadow home secretary which aimed to reposition Labour as the party of law and order.
Nick Thomas-Symonds told delegates at the party’s annual conference that he would not follow demands, usually attributed to the Black Lives Matter movement, to take money away from existing police forces.
