And he will launch a new system for prosecuting rape cases where convictions remain low.

The Prime Minister is set to unveil proposals tomorrow after ending his Covid isolation.

He said: “We need to continue to put more police out on the street, and to back them.” 

Other measures include a new crackdown against county lines drug gangs.
