and so chris philp is calling for a big increase in stop and search.that under theresa may, about ten years ago, when she was home secretary, fell very dramatically because campaign groups said that black people were going to be were being disproportionately targeted. so the number of stop and searches are basically fell to a quarter of what they'd been in about 2010, 22, 11 to what they are now. and correspondingly, we've seen this huge surge in knife crime . and huge surge in knife crime. and so the government is having a change of heart. chris philp says stop and search is a vital tool that not is not used nearly enough. and that basically the police must use the powers available to them without fear or favour. what we can't do is tiptoe around those powers in an effort to appease. so this won't be popular with everybody . sadiq be popular with everybody. sadiq khan, the mayor of london, has said that he wants to reduce the use of stop and search. but the met police commissioner is saying no, we need more of this because look at the evidence. look w

you've heard that from chris philp.rowley , the new met even mark rowley, the new met police chief, he's quite keen on it. labour are divided, though. we hear from yvette cooper saying they want it. can be done in an effective way and is an extremely important tool . sadiq extremely important tool. sadiq khan, in charge of the met police and the biggest force in the country by some margin. he's very sceptical, saying that he'll do all in his power to further cut out its use . so further cut out its use. so a debate there which the tories might have won. but on early release the tories are in some trouble. the jails are 99% full, we are seeing numbers being released in volume of early from the from these numbers of criminals. the question that the keir starmer asks is a former prosecutor six times who are you releasing? are they committing crimes and only towards the end did we hear a response from sir keir starmer. he said that the no prisoners to be released. we will post any risk to the public bookmark that line, mart

to the met to fund four more vans equipped with live facial recognition cameras, police minister chris philpold gb news it will make our streets safer, the kind of technology that can make an enormous difference includes things like, knife scanning technology. >> i was seeing a demonstration just yesterday in the home office of a handheld scanning device being developed by an american company, which could be ready to deploy on the streets, experimentally this year. that will enable officers to add a distance, scan people as they're walking down a street to see if they are carrying a knife. that could have an enormous impact on pubuc could have an enormous impact on public safety . public safety. >> the government's to put forward new proposals that will ban schools in england from teaching students about gender identity . it would also see all identity. it would also see all sex education halted for children under the age of nine. the prime minister ordered a review into relationships, sex and health education last year over concerns some kids were being taught inappropriate content. it and

policing minister chris philp says politically contentious issues have no place in the classroom., i think the report is due to come out very shortly . very shortly. >> i'm sure that the education secretary will then move to make the changes quickly and look as a parent as well . i don't want a parent as well. i don't want my children to be honest, to be exposed to inappropriate content at a pretty young age. and i don't, nor do i want politically contested ideas like the trans issues being taught as if they're facts. i think, you know, childhood is a really like special time, and i don't think we need to introduce some of these ideas too early. >> the mother of barnaby webber, who was stabbed and killed in nottingham last year, has told gb news she feels the killer's sentence was the result of a flawed, weak police investigation. barnaby webber, grace o'malley kumar and ian coates were killed last june by valdo calocane . the 32 year old, valdo calocane. the 32 year old, who suffers from paranoid schizophrenia , was given an schizophrenia, was given an indefinite hospital order.

. >> i watched nina cabinet ministers names chris philp, chris philp the other day .rence between thought. >> he was rather unfortunate of all of them. that no, no, no, actually don't think he's the worst, but he made the he said he said were the congo and rwanda different countries . rwanda different countries. >> he was. yeah. that was not a great moment. not a great moment. so i'm entitled to say idiots. and they put these people up and the audience just loads them every audience all around the country, they load. >> because many would argue those audiences are full of lefties and there are horribly unbalanced. >> they balanced, they balanced them pretty carefully. they do. they have. >> do you think the question time audience is balanced? >> well, no. but this is actually slightly more prescient as you mentioned, reform. reform hasn't done very well in these local elections either. and so the suggestion, therefore, that there is an insurgency on the right , it there is an insurgency on the right, it hasn't there is an insurgency on the right , it hasn't manifested

well, this was the response of the policing minister, chris philp, when asked about my suggestion. >>'t see that suggestion from from jacob, who the prime minister brings into the government is up to him. my job is to is to fight crime and support the police, and that's what i'm busy doing. >> but it didn't take long. rather bizarrely, for the liberal democrats to call for my suspension from the conservative party while calling for a strategy to help my party win the next election would constitute grounds for suspension isn't entirely clear. probably the lib dems are frit, to use lady thatcher's word of so powerful and electoral force, but without indulging in the electoral woes of the lib dems any further, i would like to reassert my suggestion that this plan is the clearest road map to an electoral victory for toryism. the reform uk electoral contract is fundamentally conservative. it appeals to conservative. it appeals to conservative voters and members, and there is an overlap which suggests that we ought to be working together. top of reform's priorities cutting government waste,
