the daily telegraph, boris, we must take a hard line on knife crime. fancy this, amber rudd having a hard time and up pops boris johnson! poly will get onto this! this is more about an attempt for boris, billed as an interview of the commonwealth summit, in period sta rts commonwealth summit, in period starts tomorrow, this is about local elections where labour are stunned at how policing such an issue on the doorstep and they are confident in london about policing, that message is hitting home about cuts to the police. but labour because of that. boris comes out to attack sadiq khan over knife crime and it ends up being about the home secretary's failures. that is where you come in? if the strategy was to have a go at sadiq khan, white couple of days. the prime minister is having a tough time and we know she has made a concerted effort on stop and search so concerted effort on stop and search so don't complain about that. the home secretary is having a tough time, what about collective responsibility? it is extraordinary from boris, he can see weaknes

just hours after the attack a taken place and that those allegations are hard to believe as neither boris johnson or theresa may or chemical experts who went on to point out that porton down laboratory which actually tested the chemical substance did not say what the origin of the chemicals was it had no way of determining that now we then heard from the russian representative and the ambassador of the russian federation said that the allegations were absurd. and so it's lost a little more strength mentioned don't stand crime and punishment saying to the its main intrigue was whether the culprit would confess before i'll give you. the novel by the way is not about that's the tool it's not a detective story it's the work of seriousness of cool literature i would advise worst joins in to read other works of the stand skis or at least learn the titles including little british intelligence has immediately rushed to burst its new rescue just like the ones we have but it was if. you see now russia has offered a joint investigation into the incident however it seems pretty clear that the united
