Zac Goldsmith attacks Therea May over knife crime

"The police must obey the law while enforcing the law" - Earl Warren View this email in your browser This morning we report on comments made by the Conservative frontrunner to be mayor of London about police use of stop and search. Speaking to LBC this morning Zac Goldsmith suggested that Theresa May's decision to cut down on the use of stop and search may have contributed to a "spike" in knife crime. This isn't the first time Goldsmith has criticised May's more liberal policing policies. We also hear from the cancer charity which is calling for better funding of end of life care.

And the organisation says too many people are spending their last days in hospital due to a lack of suitable home support.
