Today, the government published plans to change how policing works across England and Wales.
The plans include the so-called 'British FBI', the National Police Service, tasked with tackling major crimes such as terrorism, fraud and organised crime, freeing up local officers to focus on everyday crime.
This is part of a larger package to crack down on crime, which includes:
✅ 13,000 more neighbourhood police officers and PCSOs across England and Wales
✅ A named local officer for every area
✅ Police expected to arrive at serious incidents within 15 minutes in towns and cities and 20 minutes in rural areas
✅ Look at merging police forces to reduce backroom office costs and reduce time spent on paperwork
This morning I visited one of the newest primary schools in Bassetlaw, Whipman Woods Flying High Academy.
The pupils asked great questions and were a pleasure to speak with.
Just finished donating blood. A pretty useful way to spend a cold, wet Sunday morning.
The NHS is facing serious, ongoing blood shortages, they need +4,300 litres on a daily basis.
It takes about an hour once every six months, and it's easy to book in and choose a suitable venue.

It was colder than expected out there, but it was a lovely morning talking to local residents on Gateford Estate, Worksop.
Once again local people told me they can't wait for the promised play park. I am keeping the pressure on. The latest update is that the developer has now handed the funding over to the Council. I spoke to the Chief Executive of Bassetlaw District Council about this last week and he will be hearing from me again on Monday. We need timelines on this.
