Shame you didn’t turn up to our knife crime debate last week to engage with the young people this disproportionately affects. We talked about solutions and why people carry knives in the first place. Treat the root cause not just the symptoms @sajidjavid

New Knife Crime Prevention Orders will give police more powers to prevent gang members and criminals carrying blades.
This new deterrent can be imposed on anyone aged 12 or over who police believe is carrying a knife.

Despite a no show from the mayor and government, it was great to hear from so many smart young Londoners last night. Thanks for engaging on here too #BBCLKW. If you missed our knife crime debate catch up here and let us know what you think?👇🏾

What an amazing show. @TinaDaheley you done such a great job - loads of people got to be heard. Tonight just again highlights Knife Crime in our city! As a Young Person, honestly, I’m not hopeful about the year ahead. I feel that our Government still isn’t doing enough. #BBCLKW

So many heart-wrenching testimonies from the horse’s mouth at @BBCLondonNews London’s Knife Wars debate. But who’s listening and making notes and change, not excuses? @theresa_may? @SadiqKhan? @NickHurdUK? #BBCLKW
