👇Feels important to say and reinforce this today as someone seeking election as Police &Crime Commissioner.
That role holds specific responsibilities on behalf of the public, those in that office must show an understanding and respect for the police’s operational independence:

Understanding, upholding and respecting the operational independence of the police is more than an important convention - it’s a solemn responsibility for all political leaders and elected representatives.

Leicester’s Diwali lights amazing and wonderful, as they always are.
This year marks 40 years since the first community lights switch on.
Enjoyable evening on the Golden Mile, best wishes to everyone celebrating

More bad news for local news, on top of previous cuts to local papers and BBC local radio.
My thoughts are with all the Reach staff who will be worried about their futures. Local journalism and news reporting has a unique and important role, it’s sad to this happening.

And on the same theme….
Today is the birthday of BBC local radio,
https://nitter.cz/BBCLeicester
was the first local BBC station.
Local radio journalism and programming plays a very important role in our communities, sad to see cuts to local programming.

RT by @Rory_Palmer: Unbelievable - yet more Tory chaos.

Tory “flagship bill” on hold.

Suella Braverman’s plan to ban tents is on, then off, then maybe back on again.

Tories in so much chaos and PM has so little grip, they can’t even implement their own Kings Speech

RT by @Rory_Palmer: We need to get Britain building again.

We need to cut energy bills for good.

We need to get the NHS back on its feet.

We need to break the barriers to opportunity.

We need to take back our streets.

The Tories won’t deliver. We will.

Last week I met shop workers at
https://nitter.cz/mycoopfood
stores in Leicestershire - every day they are facing abuse, aggression, threats and violence. Totally unacceptable.
In today’s
https://nitter.cz/search?q=%23KingsSpeech
the Government should act and introduce a new specific offence of assault against retail workers

I’m backing
https://nitter.cz/CoopParty
call for a new specific offence of assault against retail workers.
I’m urging the Government to include a proposal for this in tomorrow’s
https://nitter.cz/search?q=%23KingsSpeech
.
There’s an epidemic of aggression and violence against shop workers at the moment.

R to @Rory_Palmer: On Friday I spent time with staff at Co-op stores across Leicestershire hearing awful stories of threats, aggression and violence.
We need to rebuild neighbourhood policing after years of cuts to make our streets safer.

R to @Rory_Palmer: And introduce a specific new offence to send a clear message that violence against shop workers will not go unpunished and is totally unacceptable. Tomorrow’s Kings Speech is a chance for the Government to act on this. #SaferColleaguesSaferCommunities

RT by @Rory_Palmer: It’s been a huge day of campaigning in Asda stores across the Midlands 👏

Thank you to all the members, reps and supporters who have sent @asda a loud and clear message today.

GMB members in Asda retail are fighting back and demand equal pay.

👏Good news. Trade unions’ political voice and campaigning is essential today to help secure better workplaces and a fairer society.
🛜And it’s time to change the law to allow online voting for trade union ballots.

Every week, people are telling me they are worried and fed up with crime and anti-social behaviour in their town centres and neighbourhoods.
We’ve had 13 of the Conservstives weakening the criminal justice system.
Labour will make our town centres and neighbourhoods safer.

Big win for people power this week against Conservative-backed plans to close every railway station ticket office across Leicestershire &amp; Rutland, except Leicester.
A big u-turn against these damaging proposals - many of us raised concerns and opposed the plans.

I’ve spent today listening to staff at

stores across Leicestershire.
Theft and shoplifting are at record levels, and I’ve been hearing about awful threats, aggression and violence towards retail staff.

R to @Rory_Palmer: Everyone should feel safe at work. The Co-op and other businesses are taking measures to protect staff. But we need strengthened neighbourhood policing and tougher sentences for those who are violent towards shop workers. It’s completely unacceptable.
