Thanks to wonderful #OurNHS and others at scene of incident, this young man is out of danger and starting his road to recovery.
Thank you for your prayers & kind words ❤

[#OPERATIONSHUTDOWN 19UK @OPERATIONSHUT19]

Someone very close to the team, is fighting for their life from a stabbing, we cannot put in words how awful & unjust this is.
If you pray, please pray for this young man to survive and for the best outcome for his family & loved ones

Thank you for your many many messages about today’s programme featuring 13 men who’d lost a son, brother, nephew or cousin to knife crime. But thank you mostly to the courageous men who took part #VictoriaLIVE

[Victoria Derbyshire @VictoriaLIVE]

The 13 men who’ve lost a loved one to knife crime.

They feel, as men, their grief is often ignored.

They tell us who they lost and what they meant to them.

Must see: An important piece of journalism/TV
The men affected by weapon violence & murder, need to be heard.
It's incredibly harrowing to relive & share feelings & their experiences live on TV, we applaud them
#OPERATIONSHUTDOWN

Is this young enough and shocking enough yet?
We need a #COBRANOW that results in a ten year plus strategy using a public health approach, the only way this will be effectively tackled

The causes of violent crime are complex. Active, positive partnerships with knife crime campaigners, bereaved family members, grassroots & community groups are crucial to tackling violent crime – & it was good to host @OPERATIONSHUT19 at City Hall for another productive meeting.

[#OPERATIONSHUTDOWN 19UK @OPERATIONSHUT19]

We commit to zero tolerance and will drive the issue forward and out of the hands of those who wish to blame this public health crisis on single parents, women, immigrants, other cultures and foreigners.

[#OPERATIONSHUTDOWN 19UK @OPERATIONSHUT19]

Operation Shutdown are proud to vocally announce our strong stance against racism & sexism-both these prejudices dominate the mainstream debate & undermine overall progress and our collective understanding; in tackling serious violence.
We say no, to all ignorance and prejudice

We always mark the birthday of our son Stephen. We will never forget him. I also remember others suffering the ongoing grief and loss of their children.

Two members of Yousef Beker’s extended family kept emphatically asking same question, “What is the government doing?”

Many people want to hear from you @ukhomeoffice
