Officers from seven of the forces most affected by violent crime will attend the meeting on Wednesday to discuss the crisis.

Britain's most senior police officers have clashed with Theresa May over her claim that there was no direct link with cuts in police numbers and the latest surge of knife crime.

A Sky data poll revealed that 77% disagree with the prime minister and believe police funding cuts are a major factor behind the rise in violent crime.Sky Data interviewed a nationally representative sample of 1,102 UK adult Sky customers by SMS on 5 March 2018. Data are weighted to the profile of the population. Sky Data is a member of the British Polling Council and abides by its rules.

"I know that the Home Secretary is looking very closely at how he can ensure that everything is done to tackle this problem at the moment," he said. She said the problem would require"a whole-of-government effort, in conjunction with the police, the wider public sector and local communities".Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn said Mrs May"needs to listen to grieving families, police chiefs across the country and her own Home Secretary, and the communities decimated by cuts".

Knife crime farce directing public away from all other important things. Killing is killing. Kids are doing this gang stuff for ever. Jail them and feed them porridge.

Meet the people on the street stabbing each other. Show them a bit of interest, find out why they do it and let them think they have a future worth not throwing away, you might find the root problem. Or talk to police that don’t have adequate resources and try to contain it.

instead of cutting the metpoliceuk budget at every given chance, maybe you should increase it!

We need strictly adhered to long tough prison sentences for knife crime but as the prisons are already busting at the seems that’s not going to happen is it? They know they will get away with it. Government impact on policing and prison reforms now coming home to roost.

Dem yoots they go shanking after da hot wings innit bruv da Feds ain’t doing nuffink trust me

Only one solution to a national emergency - life with hard labour and no possibility of parole for anyone caught with a knife and search points everywhere

Like he did sorting out illegals arriving in uk from France talks the talk but does nothing

Bring the death penalty back or life in prison like the US

Its been a National emergency for years going back to Stephen Lawrence and before that, all these young lives and all lives are being lost because the Government are cutting back on police officers, more police officers should be out on the streets and stiffer sentences.

Would you rather get attacked by a

Look where this is going... they will give up and just ban metal knives... My solution make it legal for people to carry tasers

Poverty deprivation homelessness unemployment has took its toll now the kids are murdering each other

Just an English emergency
