Jeremy Corbyn has called on Theresa May to resign as Prime Minister over her record on cuts to police numbers as the political row over recent terror events intensified.
Speaking just three days before the general election, the Labour leader said he backed similar calls by “very responsible” people who are “very worried” about Ms May’s record.
On Sunday, at a speech in Carlisle,
Mr Corbyn highlighted that 20,000 police officers had been cut while Ms May was Home Secretary between 2010 and 2016.
It follows the third terror attack to hit Britain in just over three months. On Saturday seven people were killed and 49 injured at London Bridge when attackers rammed a van into pedestrians before stabbing revellers in bars in the nearby Borough market.
While Mr Corbyn said the election on Thursday was “perhaps the best opportunity” to remove Ms May from her post, he also backed calls for her to resign, telling ITV: “Indeed I would, because there’s been calls made by a lot of very responsible people on this who are very worried that she was at the Home Office for all this time, presided over these cuts in police numbers and is now saying that we have a problem – yes, we do have a problem, we should never have cut the police numbers.”
Mr Corbyn was pressed on the Prime Minister’s position after David Cameron’s former policy guru demanded she resigned for “security failures” that led to the terror attacks in Westminster, Manchester and London Bridge.
