All this is surely not a surprise? ..the dismantling of our Police Service started with the coalition .. despite warnings & is still ongoing

Wouldn't say dismantling but cuts went too far. I didn't have a voice then but have a voice now.
@LibDems: +£1.2bn for police in manifesto -

I joined House of Lords 2013 - 3 years (out of 5) into coalition. Made Shadow Home Secretary 2016. See record of support for police in HoL.

Reserves and strength in depth vital in a crisis. Yes, it costs money, but when we are under threat the police etc need proper rest to work.
