Conservative mayoral candidate Shaun Bailey claims he has the street skills to tackle crime in London because of his upbringing and youth work experience.

He dealt with criminals working as a youth worker for 25 years, and also witnessed criminal activity such as drug use while growing up in Ladbroke Grove.

Mr Bailey said that he is committed to delivering more police officers on the street, a return to a patrolling model, knife disposal bins, a zero tolerance approach to crime and 800 new detectives by the end of his first term if he is elected Mayor of London in May 2020.
