Stephen Kerr: “Ministers must stop dithering, shut these loopholes and ensure public money is spent supporting victims - not criminals.”

In a free and open society, people should ordinarily be able to see one another's faces.

The SNP's savage cuts to police budgets have weakened frontline policing, yet they still expect them to do their jobs with one hand tied behind their backs.

The SNP are forcing Scots to pay the highest taxes in the UK. Instead of using that money to fix the permanent crisis in Scotland’s NHS, restore standards in our schools and tackle the cost-of-living crisis, Swinney is splashing more money…

Fewer officers on the streets puts public safety at risk and every officer cut is a gift to criminals who know Scotland's overstretched police force can no longer investigate every crime.
