[SelectaDNA @selectadna]

Great to join @HertsPCC and @HertsPolice at Hemel Hempstead Selco for a FREE tool marking event.

It was amazing to meet so many tradespeople getting their tools forensically marked!

[Andrew Griffith MP @griffitha]

The cacophony of voices warning the government about the rising wave of youth unemployment continues with arguably the nations most successful retailer, Simon Wolfson of Next.

So few MPs have a background in business they have little knowledge of the thin margins most businesses operate on or how the ‘zero hours’ contracts they demonise are usually a sensibly agreed compromise which meet employee and employer desire for flexibility.

[Jonathan Ash-Edwards @JAshEdwards]

This is appalling.

There must be consequences for crime.

Rapists must go to prison.

Great to join @BBC3CR this morning to talk about tackling tool theft across Hertfordshire 🛠️

We’re supporting tradespeople with FREE marking kits to help protect their equipment and crack down on offenders 🔧

📍 Roadshows are running across the county

[Jonathan Ash-Edwards @JAshEdwards]

Hands off our tools!

Tradespeople having their tools nicked is unacceptable. It means damaged livelihoods, customers let down and huge cost of replacement.

I’m backing Hertfordshire tradespeople with free forensic marking kits to protect tools.

Come to one of the events across the county or request a free kit at https://t.co/j1dkJ9Zkpj

[Conservatives @Conservatives]

This is @KemiBadenoch’s chamber, you’re just sitting in it.

[Jonathan Ash-Edwards @JAshEdwards]

No it’s not.

Councils exist to deliver services for local people and improve their areas.

Too many have lost sight of that.

[Jonathan Ash-Edwards @JAshEdwards]

Good luck to @Conservatives candidates standing across Hertfordshire today.

It’s been great campaigning with you and talking to residents across the county.

Vote Conservative to Get Britain Working Again.

Polls are open until 10pm!

[Kemi Badenoch @KemiBadenoch]

The Conservative Party is clear: if you want to spread hatred and violence towards Jews, you are not welcome in Britain.

[Jonathan Ash-Edwards @JAshEdwards]

Antisemitism is not new but it is becoming more visible and violent in the UK.

We must not accept it as inevitable.

Sending ‘thoughts and prayers’ after each incident doesn’t cut it.

There must be action:

To confront the hatred head on.

To keep Jewish communities safe.

To take robust action against offenders.

[Kemi Badenoch @KemiBadenoch]

Jewish people in our country are under constant attack.

This is no longer a growing pattern. There is an epidemic of violence against Jewish people.

It is now a national emergency and needs to be treated as such by the Government and public authorities.

[Jonathan Ash-Edwards @JAshEdwards]

Starmer is clueless on shoplifting:

• It’s already a crime to assault someone (whether retail worker or not)

• Transferring low value (<£200) cases from Magistrates to Crown Court will increase Court delays

• His sentencing changes mean shoplifters will almost never be jailed

[LBC @LBC]

Starmer to call time on shoplifting ‘free-for-all’ as government pledges to make assaults on retail workers a criminal offence https://t.co/zT1axgtUMs

[Jonathan Ash-Edwards @JAshEdwards]

This is an important result for policing.

Live Facial Recognition technology works and has appropriate safeguards.

Wanted criminals being nicked is a good thing and keeps the public safe.

[Metropolitan Police @metpoliceuk]

The Metropolitan Police has won a judicial review into the use of Live Facial Recognition across London.

The court concluded the Met’s policy complies with human rights law and contains clear and effective safeguards.

[Chris Philp MP @CPhilpOfficial]

This morning, I visited the Jewish community in Golders Green and the site of the appalling antisemitic attacks on the Hatzola ambulances.

Those responsible must be caught, imprisoned and if they’re not British citizens, deported

We can no longer tolerate calls for Jihad and Intifada on the streets of London. These are calls for violence which fuel antisemitism - and must no longer be allowed

[Kemi Badenoch @KemiBadenoch]

Crime should never be normal in Britain.

Our Take Back Our Streets campaign will restore order, catch criminals, and back the police to do their job.

[Conservatives @Conservatives]

It’s time to Take Back Our Streets.

@CPhilpOfficial sets out our plan to hire 10,000 additional police officers and use them to patrol the highest crime areas, funded by our £47bn savings package. 👇

[Chris Philp MP @CPhilpOfficial]

Britain’s High Streets are plagued by shoplifting, phone snatching, open cannabis use, e-scooters and crime

Enough is enough

It’s time to Take Back Our Streets. Here’s our plan 👇

[Jonathan Ash-Edwards @JAshEdwards]

A prolific Hertfordshire fare dodger has walked free and told he can repay just £20 per month.

Another soft sentence that makes a mockery of law abiding citizens.

The Government must change the law so that unduly lenient sentences in Magistrate’s Courts can be challenged.

Fewer than 3 out of 10 support Labour’s plan to merge police forces.

77% fear police will 'lose local knowledge and community connections'.

The public are right.

The Government must change course on these unpopular plans for regional police forces.
