British PM pledges tough action on terrorism

Xinhua | Updated: 2017-06-07 09:50

Political commentators also said Tuesday that although May's Conservative Party says it will not to withdraw from the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), the party, if re-elected, could begin to try to replace or amend parts of the ECHR after Britain leaves the European Union.

May's proposals, said the Guardian, follow criticism from Labour and other parties about her cuts to policing and approach to tackling terrorism in the Home Office, which she led for six years before becoming prime minister last year.

Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has accused May of cutting police numbers by 20,000 officers, while London's Labour mayor Sadiq Khan warned the Metropolitan Police has made as many cuts as it can, adding he's worried about the impact of further planned savings in the capital's police budget by the government.

Speaking in London, Khan said over the last seven years the Met had lost 600 million pounds ($775 million) through Conservative government cuts, with a further 400 million pounds ($517 million) in planned cuts to the Met budget. Khan claimed proposed changes to the police funding formula would take the total cuts to 1.7 billion bounds ($2.2 billion).

"All there is left to cut is the bone," said Khan.

Corbyn, addressing a packed rally in Birmingham defended Labour's election manifesto saying: "It's not a wish-list, it's a program and we are going to carry it out. I'm determined that every youngster should get a chance to go to university so we will end student fees."
