Labour shadow minister Nick Thomas-Symonds accuses the government of failing "comprehensively" to tackle knife crime, citing the rising cases of stabbings since 2015. Mr Thomas-Symonds says Labour would bring about a set of evidenced-based measures, including recruiting extra police officers to increase their presence on the streets. Report by Covellm.

Policing minister Chris Philp said he would like to see officers ramp up their use of stop and search to tackle knife crime. The government has also announced that around £4 million will be allocated to technology to tackle knife crime, including mobile scanning devices and live facial recognition technology.
