Tung Labourkritik mot polisnedskärningar
Den tidigare inrikesministern i Labours skuggregering, Yvette Cooper, går nu till hårt angrepp mot premiärminister Theresa May, skriver The Guardian.
Enligt Cooper har Tories regering med May som inrikesminister lett till stora nedskärningar inom den brittiska polisen.
– Hon drev igenom nedskärningar på 2 miljarder pund, vilket ledde till att 20 000 poliser försvann, säger Cooper.
Cooper kandiderade som partiledarkandidat för Labour 2015. Ett val som vanns av den nuvarande partiledaren Jeremy Corbyn.
