Liz Truss wants police to solve more crimes – 14 guilty verdicts
Never let it be said that Liz Truss is unwilling to share her vision for a UK governed by Prime Minister Truss. Her latest idea is one behind which every one of us can surely stand.
New: Liz Truss wants to impose targets to cut murders, serious violence and neighbourhood crime by 20% if she becomes prime minister
One senior police source described the policy to me as "incoherent shit"https://t.co/IuCBv9UMFc

Hurray for getting rid of some murder. The slogan writes itself.
This is probably one of my fav Truss leadership bid reporting tweets tbh https://t.co/EBqfjer8sR

Someone tell Liz Truss the criminal courts are in gridlock due to large scale industrial action. She clearly isn’t aware. Maybe fixing THAT could be a pledge https://t.co/zSleo9xFrR
