Home secretary plans to 'restore respect to law and order'

Home Secretary Yvette Cooper says she is "angry" Labour have "inherited" the crisis in the prison system, and "difficult decisions" are needed to turn this around.

Talking to Sky's Sophy Ridge following her speech at the Labour conference, Ms Cooper says she won't “pre-empt the spending review” when asked if she will make cuts to the policing budget, but will make savings "where the Conservatives have failed".

Respect is earned not restored, where did they get her from?

[cw]

Those two who attacked the police at Manchester Airport been charged yet?...

[TheLordsaviour]

Is she going to resign? That would help.

[Ishouldknow]

'Inherited' is that the only word this party know ?

Stop arresting people for posting things online, get them out on the beat again, a Police officer on every couple of streets.

[british_history_guy]

So why aren't labour building more prisons then if there blaming the Tories for not building them

[paulallen]

She says no austerity so taking the fuel allowance off pensioners is a I want to vomit

[Jase]

She hasn't got a clue. Just like the last time she was in government. 🙄

[EddieHall-sv]

She means the 2 tier police will be dictated to by labour

[GeorgeKent-ej]

The only way she could help the police i hand herself in

[Xolonay]

Police by consent, all laws apply the same regardless of race, colour or religion
And stop employing egotistical sociopaths

[thesthep]

That's funny that, because when I was attacked and threatened by a guy, forcing me to protect myself by throwing 1 punch and restraining them. I'm found guilty of assault, yet the person attacking gets away with it. School yard laws in the communities.

[barrysmith]

Is this a joke.
Why doesn’t she start looking at law and order within her cabinet?
Sheer hypocrisy.

[hannacook]

Conservatives were bad.
But that doesn't prove labour is any better.
And so far, nothing seems to show that

[nowayout]

Build more prisons!!! The first duty of society is justice.

[ronaldgreen]

Another one living in cloud cuckoo land

[varadharajannadarajah]

Work with the so called community leaders 😂

[wiseget]

A lot of words, which account for nothing in reality

[RichardScarlett-ds]

There is 2 tier policing cooper won't admit it

[PawsThought]

Having her in government is hard to stomach
