Liberal Democrats push 'bike bait' plan to trap cycle thieves The party says tracking decoy stolen bikes could help the police uncover wider criminal networks and reduce thefts.

๐ŸšฒOnly 2% of bike thefts were solved last year.

Bike theft has effectively been decriminalised- leaving thousands of victims denied justice. Things canโ€™t go on like this.

That's why we @libdems.org.uk are calling for Operation Bike Bait to catch thieves & end the bike theft epidemic.

People who have come to the United Kingdom legally, played by the rules and made it their home do not need to โ€œgo homeโ€. This is their home.

I've written to Kemi Badenoch to give her the chance to reject these divisive calls from her frontbencher Katie Lam.

300 people tell BBC of police misogyny and racism after undercover investigation Following a BBC undercover investigation, many describe incidents of domestic violence and sexual abuse being dismissed by officers across England.

Iโ€™m disgusted by how these women were treated.

When reporting horrific domestic abuse & sexual violence they faced misogyny from the police meant to protect them.

Itโ€™s a disgrace. Urgent action is needed to rip this culture of misogyny out of police forces across our country.
