Home Secretary: Minor crimes shouldn’t be dismissed


Listen Later

Today’s Mishal Husain speaks to the Home Secretary, Suella Braverman, who states that Police must investigate every theft and follow all reasonable leads to catch offenders.
Braverman says that it must change that Police deem some crimes as ‘minor’, effectively allowing criminals to break certain laws. She explains how Police can use evidence from smart doorbells and dashcams to prevent these crimes.
Braverman also faces questions on the safety of the Bibby Stockholm, the barge which housed asylum seekers. All residents were moved out after the Legionella bacteria, which can cause serious illness, was detected. She explains that people would go back on the barge “as soon as we have completed the relevant checks” and that she’s been ‘frustrated’ with the recent events.
She also explains why she doesn’t rule out the GPS tagging of Channel migrants, and discusses parts of the Illegal Migration Act.
