    In normal times I would agree.

    But this “Labour” party have shown themselves to care not one jot for liberalism.

    From the arming of a genocidal state, to making their membership numbers a secret, to proscribing non-terrorist organisations, vastly increasing the surveillance of the internet, and now threatening crackdowns on VPNs.

    According to this, the minimum and maximum a teacher can make is roughly the same as a fresh recruit officer to an officer in post for 6 years. A teaching job requires a degree, has an incredibly high turnover rate, and doesn’t get extra pay boosts like the police.

    An increase in social care, education, and the welfare state reduces crime better than extra heavies on the street, and yet those things are not being funded. Instead 3,000 extra officers will be locking up retired priests, teachers, and magistrates.
