Drop your pursuit of woke causes and fight crime instead, new home secretary tells police
Suella Braverman has told all 43 top cops in England and Wales that they are seen to be spending too much time on "symbolic gestures" instead of fighting crime.
Ms Braverman said in her letter: "It's vital that trust is restored and to address this we must have visible and responsive policing. "This must change. Initiatives on diversity and inclusion should not take precedence over common-sense policing."Liz Truss has previously said the police can "dance the Macarena in their own time" and should be focusing on tackling crime instead.
The report pointed to polling showing four in ten people worry cops are more concerned with being "woke" than tackling crime.
