‘Home Office report leak’ 

‘Police should record more non-crime hate incidents,’ says the Telegraph.

The Daily Telegraph leads today with a leaked report from the Home Office, which suggests that police should be required to record more non-crime hate incidents. The report, commissioned by Home Secretary Yvette Cooper last year, recommends that the Labour government reverse the previous administration’s policy of limiting the recording of such incidents. This shift comes amid ongoing concerns about the potential impact on freedom of speech. 

‘Claims of two-tier policing,’ highlights The Times.

The Times addresses claims of “two-tier policing,” where different groups are allegedly treated differently for similar behaviour. The report dismisses this as an “extreme right-wing narrative” that is influencing mainstream debates. However, Cooper has reportedly rejected some of the recommendations, with shadow home secretary Chris Philp arguing that discussing police responses to incidents “is not far right.”
