I tried watching BBC #Kuenssberg's interview with #DarrenJones, https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m002vphq.

There was no point in the whole 20 minutes that any part of Jones told me that he was a Labour politician. Not his demeanour, his values, his priorities, his policies, nothing.

Yes, he is Chief Secretary to the Prime Minister, and that came across. His job is to defend the Prime Minister. But this passionless suit gave not a hint of anything to suggest what movement had put him in place.

@Geri
Were body cameras not being used by police?

This alone looks like grounds for serious concerns about the police commitment to abiding by the law.
