The election is in danger of he said v she said on police cuts. Someone needs to provide robust, verifiable data.
The biggest single cut in Armed Police in Greater Manchester was in 2009 under Labour. A cut of 20%.

Corbyn consistently says he wants judicial oversight, not executive order. His vote prevents Diane Abbott (or similar) having such power

I don't understand this BS! What benefit is there to having unarmed police EVER???
-
Lovely friendly armed police in Bury st Edmunds 10 days ago. Definitely made us feel safer, not threatened!
-
Well, that's good! Still think police should carry guns...
-
Because the police have had a tendency to shoot the wrong people (one of those shot in London wasn't a terrorist).
-
And if they hadnt shot the terrorists there would be a lot more dead and injured people.
-
Yes, and if all police were regularly armed, far more innocent people would be killed without a general improvement in public safety.

Close to a 1300 drop whilst TM was in control? Tories have some cheek

You've missed the context but I wouldn't expect anything else from 'Boy from Space'
