The Conservative Party is the party of law and order. Neighbourhood crime has fallen by 48% and violent crime is down 44%.

We delivered on our pledge to increase the number of police officers by 20,000 and are committed to 8,000 more.

In our increasingly volatile world, I also support the Government’s commitment to increase UK defence spending by 2.5% of GDP in 2030.

A secure and stable Britain enables a securer and safer world.
