Halving knife crime over the next decade is a key part of The Labour Party’s Safer Streets mission, and we are taking immediate action.

The Government is already taking dangerous weapons off the street. We have banned zombie-style knives and machetes; and the manufacture, supply, sale and possession of zombie-style knives and machetes became illegal on 24th September 2024.

Thank you to West Midlands Police for the fantastic work they have been doing in schools around this very important issue. The framed winning poster is already hung on the wall in my constituency office and is being admired by all who see it!
