STREET stabbings are more likely to occur in Labour-voting areas.
Stats reveal that places with Labour police and crime commissioners are 44 per cent worse for knife crime than Conservative ones.
Tory MPs say the figures show the Labour Party is soft on crime
Under Labour PCCs there were an average 91 blade attacks last year compared to 63 in Conservative areas.
Tory research using ONS data also found the party fared better for robberies and burglaries.
Justice Minister Damian Hinds said: “Labour’s record proves they are soft on crime and soft on criminals.”
But Yesterday Shadow Justice Secretary Steve Reed tried to position Labour as the party of law and order with a crackdown on anti-social behaviour.
He announced plans for parents of yobbish kids to attend classes to learn how to control them.
The Labour frontbencher said: “With a Labour government, criminals will be arrested, they will be prosecuted, and they will be punished.
“Anti-social behaviour leaves communities feeling broken and powerless.
“It leads to a spiral of social and economic decline that a Labour government will not tolerate.”
