The Labour leader challenges the PM over police numbers and public service cuts following high-profile stabbings.

The prime minister revealed she will be holding a Number 10 summit in the"coming days" to allow ministers, community leaders and government agencies to discuss knife crime.

Mr Corbyn noted there were 285 people stabbed to death last year - the"highest level ever" - and said many MPs will"never forget" the experience of meeting the families of knife crime victims in their constituencies. Mrs May replied:"We are putting more resources into the police this year… it's a fact more money is being put into the police this year, that more money is being put into the police next year.

At the end of their exchanges in the Commons, Mr Corbyn claimed a doubling of violent crime levels had been"driven by austerity, something the prime minister told us a few months ago was over".

Knife crime is cultural thing. Not English culture. Rivers of blood.if you like. I believe it will get worse. As this scum finds more shocking memorial murders to commit. To prove their worth. We'll need harsh laws ,& a legal system to deliver it. Not based on EU human rights

Apparently people commit knife crime because we don’t give them enough money. Corbyn’s always liked appeasing psychopaths

I am surprised I thought he might have blamed Britex

The sooner the justice system implements 5 years in prison for just carrying a knife youngster will feel safer If you talk to youngsters they will tell you they carry out of fear and to protect themselves. Our government is failing our future generations

When at school pay attention, get good grades, get a good job , get yourself out into the world and make something of yourself, parents and upbringing have a massive influence here.

What a load of sh*t. I haven’t got any money so I’ll go and stab someone, preferably young and black cos they’re loaded! I repeat what a load of sh*t

And who left a note for the incoming conservative government saying ‘if you are looking for the money there is none ‘.

He’s so out of touch...

are these pair still in parliament?

What a load of bollocks. These politicians really have no clue.

We didn’t have loads in the 60/70’s no phones sky TV etc but we didn’t act in the way these young and if the media is to be believed black boys/men do

It’s true no one got stabbed under a UKLabour government

Which was driven by the labour parties over spending in the previous government, he turns everything into a political argument which usually backfired on him idiot

theresa_may says the police have enough funding. This country's Police Force say it isn't funded enough.......... So who to believe....a politition or the upholders of law and order ?

So it’s okay to stab people then?

This is what I detest about corbyn he can not resist turning everything into a dig at Tories. Nothing constructive just point scoring.

Yet he voted against increasing powers to the police

FAKENEWS

What is he talking about? I'm guessing around 70% of it is gang related.And 30% your average loony.

Driven by drug dealers who are not affected by austerity.

Jezza losing the plot again !!

Well he is an idiot so what else can we expect from him.

Thought is was driven by black people

Short-sighted nonsense.

The country is a third world shut hole.... people now living here from African countries and war torn areas of the globe DO NOT have the same values as the UK.... carrying a machete in Africa is common place ITS NOT IN THE UK.....

Definitely white people

Drug gangs Any one poor can't afford one

What a plum this corbyn is his embarrassing the Labour party

What utter nonsense.

Possibly , but also a modern day every body’s right attitude of fragmented families are as good as a father & mother (some are) children need a role model

It stems from lack of discipline both in the home and schools, why was the latter ever taken away, young people today have No Respect for Police! they have a chip on their shoulder, we were frightened of the Police! Any lame excuse with Politicians for political use only!

Just shows how much Jeremy Corbyn is out of touch , be interesting to know how much a 12 year old earns as a drug mule , how much a supplier has got stashed in his council paid flat, much more money than an honest days work.

A weak justice system and weak immigration policies would be more like it.

Jeremy Corbyn...

jeremycorbyn what a load of bollox! So because someone has no money they carry a knife, get a life Jeremy! Maybe start by looking at the soft justice system, drugs and gang culture!

🤦🏻‍♂️Because UKLabour put us in that position?

People are fed up with all the excuses jeremycorbyn

Shut up corbyn🤦🏻‍♀️

Driven by drug prohibition. Kids stabbing each other over £100

Nothing to do with feral (drug) gangs then!

Just when you think that old man Steptoe aka jeremycorbyn couldn't come out with any more stupid comments...he excels himself once again. What an absolute plum! 🙈

Bollox. It’s due to coward hiding behind blades and the fact the punishment system is a fucking holiday camp. Does he even live on this planet

You could have thousands of more police on the street, won't stop kids that have no respect for anyone or anything going out and stabbing someone, no respect or morals taught at home

Drugs territory respect,new times for different crimes

So a man stabbing someone is down to cuts?. What about the criminal is a scumbag and probably don't care about anyone.

Driven by open borders, allowing Africans and so on in.

Because Jeremy Corbyn is an idiot. Bring back stop & search. If it means protecting my and other kids from being killed, the PC lobby can, in this instance, piss off. Stop and search me; I don’t carry knives so I don’t care. Those who do carry knives will kick up a fuss no doubt.

CORBYN who caused AUSTERITY mmmmmmm OH YES the fucking LABOUR PARTY yet again always the same BANKRUPT BRITAIN then blame everyone else ---PATHETIC LABOUR

What a wonderful legacy the Windrush generation have left on the streets of our Cities with all the stabbing done by their feral offspring.

GetTheToriesOut

It is driven by the lack of consequences when caught carrying and gang culture with kids who have nothing better to do from families with poverty in the background where there is no funding to do things go other places like cinema sports etc tokeep these children away from gangs

And I thought that was it driven by over population and people acting like third world savages because the DWP don't pay them enough they need at least £500 per day or they ain't no one on the street 10 million guests in over 10 years ,the army should replace the police now!!

Having been knifed twice on 2 seperate occasions and neither of my attackers 1 of which was arrested on the scene got prosecuted or given jail time I am forced to belive that pms and the police don't really give a fuck until someone dies.

All those poor white people in British cities over the last 100 years, stabbing each other to death. No Jeremy, this is immigrant crime. Your future voters.

And he’s right.

Ironically jezza if you and your cronies were gone there might be a decent opposition! There by putting some pressure on the sitting government that someone would listen to .

Knife crime is driven by people not giving a shit about human life!

Crap.

They get free houses and free everything really because most of them are on benefits. Much more than the pittance they’d get back in their native shitholes, if anything they should be thankful not running around stabbing people. JC is a knob.

No. It’s driven by a number of factors including a soft justice system that puts the rights of the criminals before the rights of the victims

I'm skint but don't go out stabbing people. it's driven by lack of discipline at home and school

bloody hell who knew !! poverty must be a new thing , thank God nobody knew abut it before now or there'd always have been kids running round with knives

It's about time corbyn was certified!

Bit of a leap! You can’t afford new trainers, so you’re going out stabbing?

How many times have I heard the words: we were poor but honest and certainly didn't kill people. People have been a lot poorer than they are now. No shoes even.

knife crime also driven by the weak justice systems in europe thanks to pc do gooders like corbyn and his supporters

I had nothing in the 80's but a football and a wall.

Is the same jeremycorbyn who voted against the police having more stop and search powers?

W. T. F. ?

Knife crime driven by the perverse obsession with diversity in our big cities, we've certainly got diversity now...Knife crime committed by pretty much the demographic of the world, which has turned London, Manchester, Birmingham etc into third world shitholes. Well done liberals

If he gets power it will be driven by poverty.

Tambourine rattling lunatic

Shit Jeremy!! Just realised I'm syabninh people cos I'm skint!! Corbyn is a nob head fact

This guy is so far detached from reality it's unreal

Nothing to do with ill disciplined young people and parents who couldn't care a shit. Give the perpetrators a good whipping, that will be more effective than a soft youth hostel. jeremycorbyn labourpress

Thanks Jeremy. Been skint is most definitely the reason people stab people.... 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

It just shows how thick this poor example of a labour politician. Does he want a policemen at every front door to stop children leaving the house with mums biggest kitchen knife jeremycorbyn

People don't carry knives because they're living in poverty - they carry knives cause the police have basically been castrated by the government. Every bugger else gets a pay rise, especially MPs, but where is theirs?

Both of these party leaders should be sacked.

PROJECT FEAR

No, it’s driven by little fuckers who don’t give a toss about social norms or the law!

At least he didn't pin this one on the Jews.......

Pretty damn obvious, isnt it
