Home Secretary Suella Braverman told police chiefs that officers should not be facing “politically correct” distractions in order to ensure that priorities are focused on tackling crime, ”not debating genders on Twitter.”

In front of police bosses at the National Police Chiefs’ Council (NPCC) and Association of Police and Crime Commissioners (APPC) annual conference in Westminster on Wednesday, Braverman called for a focus on “common sense policing.”
