Those Theresa May Police Cuts
Here is a vivid illustration of how Theresa May crippled the Police during her seven years as Home Secretary. The figures and charts are from an official parliamentary document. I have merely added the wobbly red lines to indicate when Theresa May became Home Secretary. It is extremely plain what she did to the police.
Red Line = Theresa May Becomes Homes Secretary
Red Line = Theresa May Becomes Home Secretary

MEANWHILE IN SCOTLAND
This is a matter of choice by Theresa May. In Scotland in exactly the same period, policing was devolved to Holyrood. The SNP faced precisely the same budgetary pressures as the Home Office, but managed to maintain police numbers.
It is also worth noting that we were not comparatively over-policed. England and Wales are now well below the norm.
Finally this stunning riposte to the BBC tweeting out Tory propaganda.
