Labour Unveils 50% Cut in Crime Pledge

At this morning's breakfast news conference Tony Blair pledged to cut crime by 30%.

To prove that this wasn't just a meaningless percentage that bares no resemblance to any tangible policing or social strategy, New Labour spokespeople are now briefing the press on the Labour commitment to cutting crime by 15%.

Blink and you'll miss 'em - since yesterday's policy ambush by the Tories on tax, the off-the-cuff promises are coming thick and fast. Expect more in the next couple of weeks.
