The reason is because @BorisJohnson and his cabinet have consistently voted to defund every part of the criminal justice system.

He has gone on record as stating that he believes that victims of sexual offences pursuing justice is “spaffing money up the wall”.

The lack of trust in the Met is not simply because of that man. It’s because of the acceptance of the sexist racist culture, the “boys look after each other” bull, the total lack of leadership, the lack of insight, and the arrogance that a uniform instills.

PM *rebukes* police over treatment of women.

Wait until he meets Boris Johnson who stated voting Tories will give your wife “bigger breasts”, referred to women as “hot totty” berated men for failing to “take control of their women” dismissed threats to a female MP as “humbug”. pic.twitter.com/gQPtyZ2cIq
He's doing it quietly, but Boris Johnson is weakening the essential elements of a liberal democracy: independent courts, a free press and the right to protest – all to tighten his grip on power.

Biden pushes ahead on infrastructure
The NYT does it again: "House Delays Vote on Infrastructure Bill as Democrats Feud." On the homepage they call it a "Big Setback for the Biden Agenda." Really? Really? A day? A couple of days? The media is getting this story 100% wrong. https://t.co/JWAXpmLYXl

President Biden just now after meeting with House Democrats: "It doesn't matter when. It doesn't matter whether it's in 6 minutes, 6 days, or 6 weeks, we're going to get it done."

Media coverage has the story backward: Progressive pressure has made it more likely, not less, that Biden's agenda will pass.
— Greg Sargent (@GregTSargent) October 1, 2021
A source tells me the WH exerted no pressure on progs to pass the infrastructure bill. This is critical to success.
My latest:https://t.co/1kYBcPHW9L
This is an unalloyed victory for the Biden agenda, and for progressives who stood firm against attempts to gut it and derail it. The plan was always to link the bills – for good reason. Gottheimer’s attempt to de-link them failed. Big win. Now we have to bring it home. https://t.co/Ey1zFv7ETA

For the party that talks big about the importance of science on climate issues, we seem comfortable with measures that science shows fail to reliably hit our climate safety goals, so long as we get political okays. Remember “science not politics”?

Trump voters want to secede?!? Hahahaha!! Who's gonna tell them that 9 of the 10 states receiving the most federal dollars are Red? Only 1 is Blue, (NM) and it's only there because they have four military bases. It's not because of the state budget, like the Red ones are. pic.twitter.com/TXaJCphhfY
