With neighbours in an effort to find out more about what happened. I m here to let the family and the wider community know that we will work with you and support you as we seek to find who is responsible for the death of this young boy. Last year, the west midlands had the highest rate of knife offences in england and wales with many victims in their teens. Police launched something called project guardian to try to combat the problem five years ago, but since then, the numbers have kept going up. Young people are in fear. Because they hear stories like this and think that they need to equip themselves with a knife. So you know, a lot of young people i mentor tell me i don t want to die. Or if in a situation that i ve got a knife, what do i do? outside the house, people come to lay flowers in tears. But there s a fear, too. There s a real danger around this area. It s not a nice area to live in any more. But for a 13 year old, it s quite sad. I ve got a 13 year old daughter, and i wo

Question though they really werent we were incredibly disappointing if today they said at eight oclock, its a new t shirt. It today they said at eight oclock, its a new tshirt. Today they said at eight oclock, its a new tshirt. It was expected. The only question its a new tshirt. It was expected. The only question was its a new tshirt. It was expected. The only question was where its a new tshirt. It was expected. The only question was where they. The only question was where they were playing and for how long. There was chat about them doing ten wembley dates, more than the eight taylor swift did. Of course those things have to be booked a very long time in advance. Its ending up they are doing four wembley dates, four in manchester, a couple in cardiff, edinburgh, a couple, and also a couple in dublin. And then thats it, they are not going to europe.

Borrowing from the George Osborne and David Cameron playbook. You say that things are so terrible that we will have to make really difficult decisions. Dont blame me, blame the last lot. We are trying to fix the mess. They have evidence to suggest that argument isnt completely fabricated. However, icannot emphasise enough that Making Decisions is difficult. And the government will have to choose to do certain things. And when it makes those decisions, it will face the consequences of its actions.

And i know that after all that you have been through, that is a really big ask and really difficult to hear. That is not the position we should be in. Its not the position i want to be in, but we have to end the politics of the easy answer that solves nothing. Lets speak to our political correspondent, nick eardley, at westminster. What big asks is he talking about . That is the million question, and i think what was pretty clear from keir starmer is that the next few months are not going to be that much fun actually when it comes to government announcements. The most striking bit for me was when he said the budget is coming in october and it will be painful, those with the broadest shoulders will face the heaviest burden. Absolutely clear there will be some really unpopular announcements in that budget, perhaps around attacks, perhaps focus more on people with higher i
