The police should deter and solve more crimes and stop promoting unscientific ideologies

Suella Braverman has yet again hit out at police forces across England and Wales as the Home Secretary ramps up pressure on officers to solve crimes rather than dance with drag queens.

The Home Secretary warned chief constables and elected police and crime commissioners should focus on “cutting crime and rebuilding confidence, not playing politics”.

They are there to keep people safe. We do not pay them to wave flags at parades, to dance with drag queens or to campaign.

The 43-year-old made the remarks just weeks after she ordered a review into “political activism in [the] police” earlier this month.

Recent attempts by the Home Secretary to force the police to drop so-called ‘woke’ policing were criticised by the president of the Police Superintendents' Association.

Speaking at the group’s annual conference last week, Paul Fotheringham told delegates: “She references 'dancing and fraternising with political demonstrators', which we assume relates to police attendance at Pride.

“She talks about the displaying of the progress flag and the wearing of badges.These are deeply personal and passionate matters for our staff and our communities.”

He added: “What I have actually seen are plenty of examples of effective community engagement and a desire to promote and welcome inclusion in all its forms.

“Trust and confidence starts with how we treat our people; if they cannot be their true selves at work, how can we expect them to police our communities in the best way possible.”
