Suspect this is less about trying to force Burnham onto uncomfortable ground and more to do with trying desperately to catch up with Chris Philp and the Tories who have been running away with the issue this week.
I'm campaigning for more active, visible local community policing.
Tackling shoplifting and anti-social behaviour are top priorities, and I've been out on patrol with officers on #HaylingIsland and other areas to see their work first hand.
I will continue supporting our local police and feeding back residents' views.
@ArchiesPolitics Why would the PM do a 1 v 1 debate with a man who isn't even an MP?
They aren't competing in an election. If Farage wanted to challenge him he should have stayed in Parliament and said something there, and used that same platform now.
Too busy fighting bins I guess.

Southern Water have submitted their application for recycled water at #HavantThicket reservoir.
One of the improvements we’re making to our candidate selection process is screening for this tendency. Conservatives are weeding out the self-absorbed who come into politics because they couldn’t get into showbiz.
For these poseurs, being an MP is not about legislating to make people’s lives easier, safer and richer but a platform to campaign for their personal hobby-horses and other self-promoting activity.
They waste a lot of Parliament’s time with trivia, creating unwelcome delays and distraction from their colleagues’ work and focus on serious matters.
We must remember the service and sacrifice of our Armed Forces 🇬🇧
Three new names of local servicemen who served in the #FalklandsWar were added to #Havant War Memorial. I was honoured to be amongst #Falklands veterans and their families, and to say a few words.
Burnham inherits a toxic economic legacy from Starmer and Reeves which hit our entrepreneurs and high growth businesses hard.
@KemiBadenoch and the @Conservatives economic policies can reverse Labour's damage and turn Britain into a fast growing #ScaleUpNation@ConHome
