Labour's Next Tests: Crime & Perception - Bloomberg UK Politics
Aug 8, 2025 Bloomberg UK Politics
Politics is about perception, and while the most serious crimes have been trending downwards, the British public are concerned about the prevalence of theft and fraud. So how can Labour follow through on its pledge to 'take back our streets' and make Britain feel safer? We ask Bloomberg's UK Politics Reporter Lucy White and Former Metropolitan Police Detective Superintendent Shabnam Chaudhri. Hosted by Caroline Hepker and Stephen Carroll. Produced by Freddy Foulston and Rose Henderson.
