Violence and racism have no place on our streets, and I utterly condemn the actions of the mindless few involved in the disorder and assaults that took place in Glasgow.
Responding to violence in Glasgow.

We must root out and tackle the toxic masculinity and gender inequality that leads to violence, harassment, misogyny and abuse against women.
However, we must also have capacity there in the prison system to ensure that we are still capable of incarcerating those who pose the most significant risk to society.
I won’t apologise for the fact that average sentences have increased. I think that is right that we have sentences matching the seriousness of criminality that we have faced.
I’ve led enough pay talks in my time to know that people commenting outside do not help those getting round the table.
