Subheading text reads: โTargeted work to tackle violence affecting young people led by the Violence Reduction Unit has contributed to under-25 homicides falling to a historic low.โ The chart shows yearly data from 1997 to 2025 on the horizontal axis and numbers from 0 to 80 on the vertical axis, with a blue line fluctuating over time and dropping sharply by 2025. Large text across the chart reads: โ60.9% LOWER THAN 1997โ. Source text at the bottom reads: โSource: MPS recorded homicide data for period 1st January to 31st December, 1997 to 2025.โ
The number of homicides of young people in London continues to fall.
When I set up the Violence Reduction Unit in 2019, the capitalโs homicide rate of under-25s was three times higher than it is today.

From the new Private Eye, out now.
The accusation of election fraud is a complete fabrication with zero evidence! Apart from a video of my National Press Officer, London Area Manager and a senior Reform campaigner discussing it.

How did they not realise the need for a top quality striker and a premiership quality, creative midfielder during the summer? Too much buying for the future not the present

hardly anyone will watch Starmer's appearance at Labour conference today but it was probably the best speech he's ever given
he clearly signposted what he stands for - a diverse, tolerant, decent Britain - and how be believes progressives are in an existential fight with the populist right
