He responds by saying that the 13,000 new officers committed to by Labour will be funded by"efficiencies". Asked if he will still hire Sue Gray if she is found to have broken the Civil Service code, Sir Keir says he doesn't"have a shadow of a doubt she acted properly".Coming towards the end of his speech, Sir Keir Starmer takes aim at social media companies.
"If you make money from the sale of weapons, or the radicalisation of people online, then we will find ways to make you accountable."Sir Keir attacks the Conservatives for"complacency on another level" when it comes to crime and justice. When it comes to the police and the Casey report, he highlights the impact of austerity on the system, and that he saw as such when he was director of public prosecutions in the early 2010s.When it comes to violence against women and girls, Sir Keir pledges a specialist rape unit in every police force, dedicated rape courts and specialist domestic abuse workers in all 999 control rooms.

The Labour leader is giving a speech on law on order and his party's second nation mission:"To make our streets safe, and stop criminals getting away without punishment." The Labour leader says that's why he promised to resign if he had been found to have broken the rules by Durham Police over a gathering while campaigning in a by-election.
