The Labour leader, meeting families bereaved by knife crime, has urged them to write to him within three to six months of a Labour government to ‘hold him to account’.
Sir Keir Starmer, flanked by the actor and campaigner Idris Elba, met with the parents of four killed teenagers to discuss his ‘moral mission’ to reduce knife crime in the country.He announced plans to ban the online sale of weapons through ‘Ronan’s Law’ - named after the 16 year-old Ronan Kanda, from Wolverhampton.Just last week, his mum Pooja told LBC she was frustrated at the lack of progress being made, after her son was killed on their doorstep in 2022, in a case of mistaken identity.
“For me it’s non-political - I’m not here to do politics but at the end of the day there needs to be a long-term plan.“This doesn’t stop. We need to keep going and hold the government - whatever government it is - accountable.”Speaking to LBC after the event, the Labour leader said he imagines there will be tangible progress immediately, if his party gets into power.“There are some things we can do very quickly. This question of banning the online sale of knives should have been done years ago.
