Tool theft is still a major issue.
Make breaking into a commercial vehicle a specific offence would help the police with the burden of proof when the tools are not recoverable imo.

🌟Thames Valley is getting an upgrade!🌟
In today's budget the Chancellor confirmed that we're in the final stages of getting a new Mayoral Strategic Authority for the Thames Valley. Watch my reaction here👇
Micky Leng retweeted
Why have British people been programmed to assume an increase to the minimum wage is a bad thing? All I’m seeing is complaints. Should the anger not be aimed at salaries in general not being high enough and not at the minimum wage earners?

Devolution is growing out!
The government is now in the final stages of agreeing 10 new devolution agreements:
Mayoral Strategic Authorities for Devon, Plymouth and Torbay; Hertfordshire; Lancashire; Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland; Stoke and Staffordshire; Surrey; Thames Valley (Oxfordshire, Berkshire and Swindon); and Wessex.
A Strategic Authority for Kent and Medway which will be Mayoral if the area’s Local Government Reorganisation outcome is compatible with this and Foundation if not.
This adds to Cheshire and Warrington; Cumbria; Sussex and Brighton; Hampshire and Solent; Essex and Norfolk and Suffolk.
And a single Foundation Strategic Authority for Cornwall.
Well done to all the local leaders and MPs, businesses and partners who have made the case and done the hard work on the ground!
